Notes

Preheat the Air Fryer: It is important to always preheat the air fryer before use. This will ensure more accurate cooking times as well as even cooking.
Don’t Overcrowd the Air Fryer Basket: Speaking of even cooking, if you place too many apples in the basket they will not cook evenly. It is okay to air fryer them in batches if needed.
Cut the Apples Evenly: Make sure all of the apples are cut into roughly the same size so they cook at the same rate.
