Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Apples
- Wash and core the apples thoroughly to remove any dirt or wax.
- Slice the apples into uniform wedges, aiming for about 8 wedges per apple for even cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the apple wedges with the melted butter to coat them evenly.
- Sprinkle the wedges with 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ensuring each piece is seasoned.
2. Coat the Apples
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to create a sweet and aromatic coating.
- Toss the butter-coated apple wedges in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until they are generously coated.
3. Air Fry the Apples
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for optimal results.
- Arrange the coated apple wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
- Air fry the apple wedges for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. The apples should be tender and slightly caramelized with a golden hue.
4. Make the Caramel Whipped Cream
- In a medium-sized bowl, gently fold the caramel sauce into the whipped cream. Mix until the ingredients are well combined, but avoid overmixing to maintain the light texture.
- Refrigerate the dipping sauce until ready to serve to keep it cool and creamy.
5. Serve and Enjoy
- Arrange the warm, air-fried apple wedges on a serving plate.
- Serve the caramel whipped cream dipping sauce on the side for a delightful pairing.
- For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle additional caramel sauce over the apple wedges.
