Serving Suggestions

These warm, sweet apples make the perfect dessert! Try them over vanilla ice cream for an amazing apple pie-inspired treat. They’re also fantastic spooned over pancakes or waffles for a special breakfast. Want to make it even more decadent? Add a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of extra cinnamon on top.

Storage Tips

Let your cooked apples cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the fridge – they’ll stay fresh for up to 4 days. To reheat, just pop them back in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes at 350°F, or warm them in the microwave for about 30 seconds. The apples might release extra liquid during storage, but that’s totally normal and adds to their yummy sauce!

Quick Recipe Variations

Want to switch things up? Try using different apple types – Honeycrisp gives a sweet-tart kick, while Granny Smith adds more tang. You can swap the pumpkin pie spice for apple pie spice, or add a splash of vanilla extract for extra warmth. For a healthier twist, cut back on the sugar and add a drizzle of maple syrup instead. Love nuts? Toss in some chopped pecans during the last minute of cooking for a wonderful crunch!
