Notes

Granny Smith Apple: This is my favorite apple to use because it is tart, but other apples like honey crisp, braeburn, and fuji would work as well.
Remove the core. Take out the core before cooking these air fryer apples. If you leave the core in the apple halves, it will make it more challenging to eat. Since the apples will be softened, it will also be more difficult to remove the core after air frying. Start by coring each apple when you’re cutting them in half.
Use foil to support the apples. Since you’re cooking the apples without a pan, you’ll need to include foil to help keep them from turning into mush. Wrap foil around each half before cooking them in the air fryer.
