# What You Need:

01 - 2 large Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji apples

02 - 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

03 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

05 - 1/4 cup quick oats or gluten-free breadcrumbs

08 - Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving

01 - Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch wedges.

02 - In a bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Add apple slices and toss to coat evenly.

03 - In a separate bowl, mix oats or breadcrumbs, flour, and salt until well combined.

04 - Dredge the buttered apple slices in the dry mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.

05 - Place the coated slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring pieces do not overlap.

06 - Cook at 375°F for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until apples are golden brown and crispy.

07 - Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.

01 -

The air fryer creates this incredible crispy exterior while keeping the apples tender inside like tiny fritters without all the oil
They come together in about twenty minutes flat with ingredients you probably already have sitting in your kitchen right now

02 -

Crowding the basket leads to steaming instead of crisping so work in batches if needed
Let them cool for just a couple minutes before serving because the caramelized sugar gets incredibly hot

03 -

Pat the apple slices dry before coating if they seem especially juicy from sitting out
A pinch of nutmeg or cardamom in the sugar mixture makes these taste fancy enough for dinner parties
