Description

Crispy cinnamon-sugar apple wedges made in the air fryer, served with a creamy caramel whipped cream dipping sauce for a quick and indulgent snack or dessert.


Ingredients

3 large apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), sliced into wedges

1 tablespoon melted butter

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons caramel sauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: extra caramel drizzle


Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss apple wedges with melted butter.
  3. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over apples to coat evenly.
  4. Arrange apple wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  5. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until apples are tender and slightly crisp.
  6. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  7. Fold in caramel sauce and vanilla extract until well combined.
  8. Serve warm apple wedges with caramel whipped cream dipping sauce on the side and drizzle extra caramel if desired.

Notes

Use lemon juice on apple wedges before seasoning to prevent browning.

Try different apple varieties like Fuji or Gala for different flavor profiles.

Add nutmeg or allspice for extra warmth in flavor.

For a vegan option, substitute coconut cream and dairy-free caramel sauce.

Reheat apple wedges in the air fryer for a couple of minutes to regain crispness.
