Air fryer apple rings are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a classic fall treat. They're crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and coated in a sweet and tangy cinnamon-sugar mixture. Best of all, they're made with just a few simple ingredients and take less than 15 minutes to make.
Apple rings have been a popular snack and dessert for centuries. The first recorded recipe for apple rings dates back to the 16th century, and they've been enjoyed by people of all ages ever since. Traditionally, apple rings are made by slicing apples into thin rings and then frying them in oil. However, this method can be messy and time-consuming. Air frying is a much healthier and faster way to make apple rings, and the results are just as delicious.
Prep time: 10 | Cook time: 12 | Serves: 2
Ingredients
Apples (peeled and cored)
Cinnamon Powder
Allulose Powder
Lemon Juice
Instructions
Slice apples into 1/4-inch rings.
In a medium bowl, combine cinnamon, allulose powder, and lemon juice. Toss apple rings to coat.
Place apple rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Air-fry at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
Serve warm with additional cinnamon or allulose, if desired.
Why It Works
The air fryer's high heat and circulating air create a crispy exterior on the apple rings, while the low temperature helps to keep the inside tender and juicy.
The cinnamon-sugar mixture adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the apple rings, and the lemon juice helps to brighten the flavor and prevent the apples from browning.
Flipping the apple rings halfway through the cooking time ensures that they cook evenly and get nice and crispy on both sides.
