# Ingredients You’ll Need:

01 - 3 large apples, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith, sliced into wedges
02 - 1 tablespoon melted butter
03 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
06 - 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - Extra caramel sauce for drizzling, optional

# How to Make It:

01 - Heat the air fryer to 375°F according to its manual. Core apples and cut similar wedges. Toss with melted butter, then the mixed sugar and cinnamon.
02 - Arrange one layer and cook about eight to ten minutes, turning midway and continuing until a fork enters the thick part easily. Watch sugary edges for scorching.
03 - Whip cold cream to soft peaks, then fold in caramel and vanilla. Keep chilled until plating.
04 - Serve warm apples with a spoonful of cream and optional caramel drizzle. Add cream only at serving so it does not melt in the basket.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Their edges may color while the interior softens. Apple variety and moisture matter more than a fixed minute count.
02 - Cold cream holds air more readily. Fold caramel gently after whipping instead of beating warm sauce into the cream.
