Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 large apple
- Cinnamon and sugar
- Halloween sugar sprinkles (orange, green, purple), optional
Instructions
- Place apple on cutting board, with the apple stem at the top. Slice a small circle off of one side of the apple (starting at top and slicing down toward cutting board). Set aside. Continue slicing about 1/4-inch thick so that you have round slices. (A large apple will give you about 4 slices until you get to the core.) Turn the apple to the other side, slice of a small round and continue slicing the apple slice like you did before.
- Using a toothpick, "carve" a face into each apple slice.
- Leave some of the carved apple slices plain. Sprinkle some with cinnamon and sugar. You can also sprinkle some with sugar sprinkles (optional) like orange, green, or purple. Set aside.
- Preheat the air fryer at 400°F for 2-3 minutes.
- Spray air fryer basket with cooking oil. Place carved apple slices in a single layer on bottom of air fryer.
- Air fry the apples for 5-10 minutes, depending on your air fryer. IMPORTANT: The plain ones will take less time than the apples covered in sugar. Keep a close eye on your fried apples, checking them every 2 minutes so they don't burn. Carefully remove from air fryer and let cool before eating. Continue airfrying until all apples are cooked.
Notes
IMPORTANT RECIPE NOTE: Air fryer times vary greatly depending on the air fryer, so your time may vary a little. The apple slices with the sugar will take longer because the sugar melts into the apple. We like our air fried apples chewy, but if you like your apples crispy, you may need to cook them longer.
