Recipe Tips
Before you dive into making these air fryer cinnamon apple slices, read through these recipe tips so that you have all the knowledge and achieve the best results!
- We used Gala apples but other apples will work as well. We’d recommend a firmer apple so they keep their shape better, but this is personal preference.
- Try cutting the apples into slices of similar thickness so they are done cooking at the same time.
- You can add more or less sugar and cinnamon to suit your taste.
- Don’t overcrowd your air fryer, otherwise the apple slices might not cook evenly.
- If you want the apple slices to be very soft, you can increase the cooking time. Just keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.

First, preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. You can also skip preheating and just add a minute or two to the cooking time.
Next, wash and dry the apples. Then cut them into quarters, remove the seeds and core. Now cut them into evenly sized slices.
In a bowl, mix the apple slices with the oil, sugar, and cinnamon until the apples are evenly coated.
When the air fryer is hot, place the apple slices in the air fryer basket. Then gently shake the basket to settle everything into one even layer.
Air fry the apple slices at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes until the apples are soft and the edges begin to brown. Shake the air fryer basket every 3 minutes to help with even cooking.
The exact cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of the apple slices, your air fryer, and personal preference. If you like them very soft, air fry longer.
When done, remove the apple slices from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute or two. Then serve.
You can eat them with yogurt, whipped cream, ice cream, granola, etc. Enjoy!
Storage Tips
These apple slices don’t usually last long in our house. When we do have leftovers, we place them in a sealed container and store them in the fridge overnight.
The apple slices will last in the fridge for around 3 days. They may get softer over time, so we would recommend eating them sooner rather than later.
We often add ours to oatmeal the next morning.
If you want to reheat them, you can use the air fryer at 280 degrees Fahrenheit for a minute or two, or just use the microwave if you only have a couple left and don’t mind them getting softer.
What to Serve Air Fryer Apple Slices With
These apple slices are pretty versatile. We like eating them as a hot fruit snack or dessert when they were done – they are that good.
You can also eat them with creamy yogurt, sour cream, whipped cream, or even on ice cream. You can also toss them in your morning oatmeal or eat them with granola (and yogurt).
The flavor possibilities are endless… Okay, there are only so many things you can make – but it’s still a lot!
