Ingredients
- 3 large apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), sliced into wedges
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: extra caramel drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, toss apple wedges with melted butter.
- Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle over apples and toss to coat evenly.
- Arrange apple wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until apples are tender and slightly crisp.
- Whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold caramel sauce and vanilla extract into the whipped cream until combined.
- Serve warm apple wedges with caramel whipped cream on the side. Drizzle extra caramel sauce if desired.
Notes
To substitute the apples, use pears or peaches for a twist; vegan butter and coconut whipped cream can replace dairy components. Prepare the caramel whipped cream up to a day in advance; store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Store leftover air-fried apples and cream separately; reheat apples in the air fryer. If apples become soggy, air fry briefly again. For crisper pieces, don’t overcrowd the fryer basket.
