Method
- 1
Toss apple slices with melted butter until evenly coated.
- 2
Mix sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg together, then sprinkle over the apple slices and toss to coat.
- 3
Arrange apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- 4
Air fry at 380°F for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until edges are caramelized.
- 5
Serve warm with caramel sauce or whipped cream for dipping.
Pro tip. Use a mandoline to get perfectly even slices so they cook at the same rate. Firmer apple varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp hold their shape better.
Why the air fryer wins here
- Ready in 10 minutes. The same dish takes about 17 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
- Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
- Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
