Easy Air Fryer Apple Slices

What to Pair with Air Fryer Apple Fries

Tips to Air Fry Apple Slices

• You don’t have to peel your apples! I find peeling your apples lets the flour stick better, but it is possible to make this recipe with the skin still intact.

• Use a food processor to crush up the graham cracker crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor or don’t want to clean it (I get it), place the graham crackers in a sealed Ziploc gallon bag and roll/hit it with a rolling pin until you have crumbs!

• If the apple fries in the air fryer still look a little dry when flipping, spritz them with a little more oil — It goes a long way!

• Put the apple bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket to allow them to cook evenly

• The apple slices are done cooking when they are soft, but still firm to the touch

How Long to Cook Air Fryer Apples

Apple wedges only take about 5 to 6 minutes to cook.

If you’re using thicker apple slices, allow them to cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

If using thinner apple slices, check your apples around the 4 to 5-minute mark

Variations for Apple Fries in the Air Fryer

• Swap the graham cracker crumbs for crushed vanilla wafers
• Omit the cinnamon — This air fryer apple recipe has been tested with cinnamon and without cinnamon, so if you’re allergic, you can still enjoy this delicious dessert!
• Use apple pie spice in place of cinnamon to make this taste like air fryer fried apple pie

How to Reheat Sliced Apples in the Air fryer

1. Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees.
2. Air fry the fried apple sticks for 3 to 4 minutes until heated thoroughly and the graham cracker crumbs are crispy.
