Ingredients
For the Apple Wedges:
- 2 large apples (I like Honeycrisp or Fuji for their sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to prevent browning)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, depending on how sweet your apples are)
For the Caramel Whipped Cream Dipping Sauce:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Apples: Start by washing and slicing your apples into thin wedges. Toss them in a bowl with lemon juice to keep them from turning brown. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar over the wedges, tossing gently to coat evenly.
-
Air Fry the Apples: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the apple wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap. Cook for about 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re tender and slightly golden at the edges.
-
Make the Caramel Whipped Cream: While the apples are cooking, let’s make the dipping sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the caramel sauce until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the apple wedges are done, transfer them to a plate and serve them warm with the caramel whipped cream on the side. Dive in and enjoy the perfect balance of sweet, creamy, and crispy goodness!
Notes
- Serving Size: This recipe serves about 2–4 people, depending on whether it’s a snack or dessert.
- Storage: Store any leftover apple wedges in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The caramel whipped cream can be stored separately for up to 3 days.
- Dietary Adjustments: For a lighter version, you can use coconut cream instead of heavy whipping cream and a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit in place of powdered sugar.
