Air Fryer Apple Slices are warm, sweet and delicious. They are slightly crispy but packed full of juicy apple flavor.
It's January.....the time of year when many people evaluate their health and fitness goals. Perhaps you ate too many goodies over the holidays, or you made a New Years resolution to get in shape, or maybe you just want to make better food choices for your overall health. Air Fryer Apple Slices are the perfect snack or dessert if you are looking for a healthy choice.
Air Fryer Apple Slices only require two ingredients and they literally take minutes to make. You can eat them straight out of the air fryer or you can drizzle them with the optional maple syrup. I like to eat mine with a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt.
Try my Healthy Apple Cinnamon Cake or Healthy Blueberry Muffins for other great healthy snacks or desserts.

Sprinkle cinnamon on the apple slices.
Arrange apple slices in a single layer in air fryer basket.
Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the apple slices have started to soften but are still slightly firm. Remove apples from air fryer and drizzle with maple syrup if desired. Makes 1 serving.
Hint: There is no need to grease the air fryer prior to adding the apple slices.
Substitutions
- Apple - I used a gala apple for this recipe. You can use whatever type of apple you have on hand. If you use a granny smith apple, your apple slices will be tart.
- Maple Syrup - You can substitute honey for the maple syrup if desired.
Equipment
Air Fryer - I used a basket style air fryer for this recipe. You can use any type of air fryer but be sure the apple slices are placed in a single layer in the air fryer.
Storage
Apple slices can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container or bag for up to three days.
I do not recommend freezing the apple slices.
Top tip
Do not overcook the apple slices because they will turn into apple mush! Cook the apple slices until they start to soften but are still slightly firm.
FAQ
There is no need to peel the apple unless it's your personal preference. Don't forget the skin adds extra nutrients.
Yes! Feel free to double the recipe but be sure the apple slices are placed in a single layer in the air fryer.
A big scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt. This is my favorite way to eat the apple slices because they taste like a piece of apple pie without the crust!
