Ingredients
→ Apple Wedges
3 large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), sliced into wedges
1 tablespoon melted butter
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
→ Caramel Whipped Cream Dipping Sauce
½ cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons caramel sauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Extra caramel sauce for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 375°F.
In a large bowl, toss apple wedges with melted butter.
In a separate bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Coat apples evenly with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Place apple wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, shaking once halfway through, until tender and lightly crisp.
Meanwhile, whip heavy cream in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold in caramel sauce and vanilla extract.
Serve warm apple wedges with caramel whipped cream on the side. Drizzle extra caramel sauce on top if desired.
Notes
Use tart apples like Granny Smith for contrast, or sweeter ones like Honeycrisp for a more dessert-like flavor.
This recipe is best served immediately for crisp texture.
Optional: Add a pinch of sea salt to the caramel for a salted caramel twist.
