That’s exciting! I use my air fryer every day and I just purchased a new one this week that is bigger.
Michele
Could you tell me what brand the bigger one was? I have a nuwave which seemed to be the biggest one. Also, when you say basket, do you mean the one with the solid bottom or the basket bottom? I’m really trying to “get to know” my airfryer.
MamaShire
The bigger air fryer that I bought is the GoWise 5.8 qt. I updated the recipe to include the small pan that I put the apples in and then placed that inside the air fryer basket.

Making these now!

I’m new to air fryers, what type of pans can you add to make these in?
MamaShire
I have a link above the recipe for air fryer accessories that has an assortment of pans that should fit your air fryer. I’ve also used small pyrex dishes. Just remember to use oven mitts as they get hot.
Margaret Carmen
Love this idea! Making dessert in the air fryer is brilliant. I will definitely try this recipe, possibly top it with some granola and a scoop of ice cream for a quick apple crumble.

i I tried this recipe in my air fryer and was disappointed. The apples looked just like the picture but they were too dry to be good with ice cream or whipped cream. Need to be more syrupy. We ate them anyway though.
