Can I use a different sweetener?

Yes! While maple syrup gives the best warm flavor, you can swap in honey if you like. It will still caramelize nicely in the air fryer.

How should I store and reheat leftovers?

Store leftover apples in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds until warmed through.

Do I need to peel the apples first?

I do recommend peeling. The skins can toughen in the air fryer and distract from the tender, soft texture you want.
