    Tips

    • You can use Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady apples for this recipe.
    • 15 minutes is the perfect cook time for my air fryer, but if your apples are still slightly firm, you can cook them for a few additional minutes. I recommend checking your apples after every two minutes if you are adding additional cook time as you don't want your apples to burn.
