Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large large apples, cored and sliced into quarters Choose firm varieties for best texture.
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch Keeps the coating dry for crispness.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Baking spray (for air fryer basket) Use to avoid sticking.
  • Caramel sauce (optional, for serving) Great for dipping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash, core, and slice the apples into quarters, then slice each quarter to about 6 mm thick.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch; stir until evenly mixed.
  3. Add the apple wedges to the bowl and toss gently until each piece is evenly dusted.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 195°C for about 3 minutes and spray the basket with baking spray.
  2. Arrange the coated apple wedges in a single layer in the basket with some space between pieces.
  3. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through.
  4. Check for doneness; edges should be golden-brown and the center tender.
  5. Remove from the basket and let cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 180°C for 2–3 minutes if needed. For variations, consider swapping cinnamon for nutmeg or serving with ice cream.
