Print Recipe

A quick and easy dessert that caramelizes mixed fruit in the air fryer, creating a warm, sweet treat with golden edges and tender insides.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Mixed fruit (apples peeled and sliced, pears cored and chopped, peaches pitted and sliced, berries like blueberries and raspberries)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for vegan)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Wash, peel if needed, and cut fruit into uniform bite-sized pieces (about ½-inch thick for apples and pears; peaches and berries can be halved or left whole).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, melted butter, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, salt, and optional vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  3. Add prepared fruit to the bowl and gently toss to coat evenly without mashing berries.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
  5. Place coated fruit in an even layer inside the air fryer basket or an air fryer-safe dish, avoiding overcrowding.
  6. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking or stirring gently halfway through to ensure even caramelization.
  7. If desired, cook 1-2 minutes longer for extra caramelization, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Remove fruit carefully and serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt.

Notes

Preheat the air fryer for best caramelization. Avoid overcrowding the fruit to allow even cooking. For vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil and use organic sugar. Frozen fruit should be thawed and drained before use. Rotate basket halfway if your air fryer cooks unevenly.
