The finished dish — looks amazing, right?

Okay, so let’s dive into this magic:

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

So, here’s the deal. You’ll need:
– 4 small/medium apples (I’m all about those Gala apples — they’re sweet and juicy!)
– 1½ tsp cinnamon (Cinnamon is life!)
– 1 T canola oil (or whatever oil you’ve got hanging around)
– 1 tsp vanilla (Because yum)
– 2 T butter, melted (Butter makes everything better, right?)
– 2 T sugar (A little sweetness goes a long way)

I usually get my apples from the local farmer’s market. Not to get all sappy, but there’s something special about supporting local. Plus, they taste fresher!

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, quick story! So, last fall, I was hosting this cozy little dinner party, right? I totally forgot about dessert. Like, complete chaos mode here! I had guests arriving in an hour, and all I had was a bag of apples. I mean, who can live on apples alone? But then it hit me! I pulled out my air fryer (life-saver alert!) and whipped up these Air Fryer Apples.

Let me tell ya, the smell wafting through the house was pure bliss. Everyone devoured them and thought I was some sort of kitchen wizard. Little did they know it was a last-minute miracle. 😂 Plus, they’re great warm or cold, so leftovers? No biggie!

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, listen up! The real MVP here is shaking the basket halfway through cooking. Like, if you just let them sit, some apples might get all mushy while others stay crunchy. No one wants that! Give ‘em a little shake — it’s like a dance party in the air fryer. 💃✨

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

– Chop your apples evenly. I once made a batch with some super thick slices — let’s just say they took WAY longer to cook. Not cute.
– Don’t skip the vanilla! It’s like the secret ingredient that brings everything together.
– Keep an eye on ‘em! Seriously, I once got distracted by a TikTok and almost burnt my batch. Yikes.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, if you manage to have any leftovers (hahaha good luck with that), just pop them in an airtight container and stick ‘em in the fridge. They’ll be good for about 5 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months, but let’s be real — that’s unlikely. They’re *too* good!

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too

Okay, if you’re into these, you’ll probably love:
– My famous Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries (crispy goodness!)
– Cinnamon Roll Casserole (a breakfast game-changer!)
– Chocolate Chip Banana Bread (because, chocolate!)

So, what do you think? Are you team Air Fryer Apples now? I’m telling you, once you try ‘em, there’s no going back! Let me know if you give them a whirl! 🍏❤️
