Ingredients
Scale
For the Apple Wedges:
2 medium Gala apples
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons sugar (for coating)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
For the Dipping Sauce:
4 oz whipped cream
1/4 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
Prepare the Apples:
Wash the Gala apples and slice them into even wedges, ensuring they are about 1/4-inch thick.
Coat the Apples:
In a large mixing bowl, blend the melted butter with 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Add the apple wedges and stir until they are completely coated in the mixture.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes to reach the ideal temperature for crisping.
Air Fry the Wedges:
Carefully place the apple wedges in the air fryer basket, arranging them in a single layer to promote even cooking. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until they are soft and browned on the edges.
Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar:
While the apples are cooking, mix together the sugar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a small bowl to create a sweet coating.
Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:
Once the apple wedges are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and immediately toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until they are fully covered while still warm.
Make the Dipping Sauce:
In a separate bowl, combine the whipped cream and caramel sauce, stirring gently to maintain the fluffy texture.
Chill the Dipping Sauce:
Refrigerate the caramel whipped cream mixture for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the consistency to firm up.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the warm apple wedges on a plate with the chilled caramel whipped cream dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
Feel free to use any apple variety you prefer, but Gala apples work well for their sweetness and texture.
You can add a sprinkle of extra cinnamon on the apple wedges before serving for a bit more spice.
