Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Apples

1. Wash and core the apples, then slice them into ½-inch thick wedges.

2. In a large bowl, toss the apple wedges with lemon juice to prevent browning.

3. Add melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar (if using). Toss until evenly coated.

1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.

2. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

3. Arrange the apple wedges in a single layer (work in batches if needed).

4. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and slightly crispy.

Step 3: Make the Caramel Whipped Cream

1. In a chilled mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla.

2. Whip using a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form.

3. Gently fold in caramel sauce, leaving some swirls.

Step 4: Serve

1. Transfer the warm apple wedges to a serving plate.

2. Drizzle with extra caramel sauce.

3. Serve with the caramel whipped cream on the side for dipping.
