Crispy and sweet air fryer cinnamon apple rings make a deliciously healthy snack or dessert. Thinly sliced apples are coated in a cinnamon sugar mixture and air fried until golden brown and perfectly crisp. Serve warm for a comforting treat that pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale

Apples

  • 2 large apples (preferably Granny Smith)

Coating

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Others

  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for cooking the apple rings evenly.
  2. Core and Slice: Core the apples and slice them into thin rings, about ¼ inch thick, to create uniform pieces that will cook evenly and become crispy.
  3. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon thoroughly to prepare the sweet coating for the apple rings.
  4. Coat Apple Rings: Toss the apple rings in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring each ring is well coated for maximum flavor and caramelization.
  5. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking and help achieve a crisp texture.
  6. Arrange Apple Rings: Place the coated apple rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket to allow hot air to circulate around them for even cooking.
  7. Air Fry: Cook the apple rings at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they become golden brown and crisp on both sides.
  8. Serve: Serve the cinnamon apple rings warm. Optionally, top with vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Granny Smith for the best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust cinnamon and sugar according to your sweetness preference.
  • Ensure apple rings are sliced evenly to cook uniformly.
  • Flipping halfway through helps achieve an even crispiness.
  • Serve immediately for best texture, as they may soften upon cooling.
