Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss apple wedges with melted butter.
  3. Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle over apples and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Arrange apple wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  5. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until apples are tender and slightly crisp.
  6. Whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form.
  7. Gently fold caramel sauce and vanilla extract into the whipped cream until combined.
  8. 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.
