Getting Started
- Slice apples uniformly, about 1/4-inch thick for fries or chips, to ensure even cooking. This prevents some pieces from burning while others remain raw.
- Lightly toss apple pieces with a small amount of oil (coconut or avocado work well) before air frying. This aids in caramelization and prevents sticking to the basket.
- When making crumbles or crisps, use a blend of gluten-free rolled oats and a high-quality gluten-free flour blend for best texture. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway, until the topping is golden and crisp.
- Apples cook quickly in an air fryer. Start checking for tenderness at 8-10 minutes for slices and 15-18 minutes for whole or stuffed apples. Adjust time based on apple variety and desired texture.
