Begin by gathering all your ingredients for the Air Fryer Apples. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. Grease the air fryer tray lightly or line it with air fryer liners.

Choose large apples, peel them if preferred, and chop them into small squares, sticks, or thin slices, discarding the cores and seeds.

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples with cinnamon and your choice of sweetener. Add melted oil or butter if using, and toss well.

Carefully arrange the coated apple pieces in a single layer on the preheated air fryer tray. Avoid overcrowding.

Air fry the apples for 7 minutes, shaking the basket gently or stirring halfway through.

After shaking, continue air frying for an additional 8 minutes, checking for preferred caramelization.

Once cooked to your liking, carefully remove the tray from the air fryer and allow to cool slightly before serving.
