I love how straightforward this recipe is. Peel and chop the fresh apples while the air fryer gets preheated. While the apples are getting air-fried, quickly put the seasonings in a bowl and mix them. Once done, add the cooked apples to the bowl of seasonings, stir them well, and serve. So easy.

Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: To achieve optimal crispiness, ensure the apple slices are arranged in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

Variations in sweeteners: Honey, regular granulated sugar, or brown sugar can be substituted for maple syrup. I love the combination of brown sugar + cinnamon + warm apples.
Cooking Times: Each air fryer is different. So, watch your sliced apples after a few minutes of air frying. Make sure you don’t burn the apple pieces. At around 7 minutes, pause the air frying process, shake the basket and start cooking again. This ensures even cooking.
