Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
