Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium Gala apples
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for the apples)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons sugar (for coating)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
- 4 oz whipped cream
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Peel the Gala apples and remove the cores. Slice them into wedges about 1/4-inch thick.
- Coat the Apple Wedges: In a mixing bowl, drizzle the melted butter over the apple wedges and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Toss carefully to ensure all apple slices are evenly coated.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
- Air Fry the Apples: Place the coated apple wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5-7 minutes, checking for tenderness and a crispy edge.
- Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture: While the apples are air frying, combine the sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Toss in Cinnamon-Sugar: Once the apple wedges are finished, remove them from the air fryer and quickly toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until they are well covered.
- Make the Dipping Sauce: In a separate bowl, gently fold the caramel sauce into the whipped cream. Do this slowly to maintain the whipped cream’s light texture.
- Chill the Dipping Sauce: Chill the caramel whipped cream for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Arrange the warm apple wedges on a serving plate and add the caramel whipped cream dipping sauce on the side for a delightful treat.
Notes
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- These apple wedges are best enjoyed fresh out of the air fryer while warm.
