Air Fried Apples

THE BEST FALL DESSERT (hands down) is air fried apples. 🍎 Imagine apple pie filling, but packed with protein (from the side of yogurt) AND you can have it…every day 😋

Ingredients:

1 apple sliced – I did 1/2 inch slices
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
1 tsp lime juice
1 scoop vanilla Greek yogurt
1 drizzle honey – optional for topping

Recipe:

1. Slice apples into 1/2 inch thick slices – any size is fine but this will affect the cooking time
2. Toss slices with cinnamon, sugar and lime juice. Be sure to coat all the apples (add more/less cinnamon and/or sugar if you want!!)
3. Air fry on 400 for 8-10 minutes – be sure to toss half way through
4. Serve with yogurt and honey drizzle OR eat on their own!! Delish!! 🍯
