I'm always looking for healthy, after-school snacks for my kids ... and since my weight loss surgery, low- to no-sugar snacks for myself. This recipe is a win, win for both the kiddos and me. If you prefer to not use sweeteners, it can be made with regular sugar as well - just replace each sweetener packet with 1 tablespoon of sugar. My girls love them right out of the air-fryer while they are still warm and gooey.
(Air) Fried Apples
(Serving size is 1 able per person - recipe is for 1 apple)
Ingredients:
1 medium apple
1 packet of sweetener (1 tab. of sugar can also be used)
2 tea. cinnamon
Cooking spray
Directions:
- Wash apple(s).
- Core and slice apple(s).
- Put apple slices in large zipper bag. Add sweetener (or sugar) and cinnamon to bag and shake to coat.
- Place apple slices on air-fryer safe plate or tray in single layer. Spray apple slices with cooking spray.
- Air-fry @ 450° for 5 minutes (add a minute or two for additional apples).
- Let sit one minute and then ENJOY!
(Notes: I leave the skins on to up the fiber and nutritional value; but if you have a little one that doesn't like the skin, it can be removed before seasoning. I use a stevia-based sugar replacement, since it cooks/bakes like sugar. Also, keep an eye on them if you are air-frying multiple apples for more than 5 minutes ... they will burn if left in too long.)
