🍏 Air Fried Apple Wedges with Caramel Whipped Cream
Ingredients
(Serves 2–4)
🍎 Apple Wedges:
-
2–3 medium apples (Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji)
-
1 tbsp butter, melted
-
1 tbsp brown sugar
-
½ tsp cinnamon
-
Optional: pinch of nutmeg
🍯 Caramel Whipped Cream:
-
½ cup heavy whipping cream
-
2 tbsp caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Prepare the apples
-
Wash, core, and slice apples into wedges.
-
In a bowl, toss apple wedges with melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated.
2. Air fry the apples
-
Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
-
Arrange apple wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if needed).
-
Air fry for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and tender.
3. Make the caramel whipped cream
-
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
-
Add caramel sauce and vanilla extract. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
-
Drizzle extra caramel over the top if desired.
4. Serve
-
Serve warm apple wedges with a generous dollop of caramel whipped cream on the side for dipping.
💡 Tips
-
For extra crunch, sprinkle toasted pecans over the apple wedges.
-
You can substitute maple syrup for caramel for a seasonal twist.
-
Leftover apple wedges can be reheated in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes — they’ll stay crispy!
If you want, I can also give you a mini dessert version — apple wedges in bite-sized cups with whipped caramel for parties. Would you like me to do that?
