Air Fryer Cinnamon Apple Rings
Sweet, tender apple rings kissed with cinnamon and sugar, perfect as a snack, dessert, or breakfast side.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large large apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) Choose firm apples for best texture.
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice Helps prevent browning.
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or melted unsalted butter Use coconut oil for a vegan option.
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar Adjust sweetness to taste.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Key flavoring for the apple rings.
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional) Adds warmth and depth.
- 1 pinch salt Enhances overall flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Core the apples and slice them into rings about 1/4 inch thick. Don’t worry about keeping the rings perfectly uniform; a little irregularity gives them character!
- In a large bowl, combine the apple slices with lemon juice, ensuring they are well coated to prevent browning.
- In a separate small bowl, mix melted coconut oil (or butter), brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir until combined and pour over the apple slices. Toss until all rings are evenly coated.
Cooking
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the apple rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Serving
- Allow them to cool slightly before serving. They’re delightful on their own or served with yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Notes
Choose firm apples; they hold up better during cooking. For extra crunch, try adding a small handful of coconut flakes or chopped nuts when coating the apple rings.
