I fell in love with these many years ago, when I purchased them at a local orchard in New Hampshire, and I have been making my own batch for years, and today I tried making them in the air fryer, and they are amazing!

If you love a great and delicious batch of homemade cookies, this is one of my favorites. And although they feature apples as the star ingredient, they are delicious any time of the year.

Made with some simple ingredients and diced apples, this will soon become one of your family’s favorite desserts.

How To Make Air Fryer Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies

Mix ingredients for cookies in bowl

Melt the butter in a medium bowl and set it aside. In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Whisk it together and set it aside.

Next, take the butter bowl and add the apple pie spice, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Mix it well. Add in the applesauce and the egg.

Finally, combine the two bowls.  Add the apple mixture to the dry ingredient bowl.  Mixing everything thoroughly. Fold in the chopped apple pieces. 

Apple Cinnamon In Air Fryer Basket

Preheat air fryer to 315 degrees F, air fryer setting. Then line the air fryer basket with parchment paper.  Using a small ice cream scoop or a spoon, scoop the cookies out one by one making each cookie ball about two inches wide. 

Place each cookie dough ball onto the parchment paper, leaving about an inch and a half of space between them. It’s important to leave that space because they do spread out.

You will probably have to do multiple batches. I was able to fit in six cookies at a time. In between batches, place the bowl of uncooked cookie dough in the fridge so that it stays chilled. Air Fry cookies for about 6-8 minutes. 

Repeat until all cookies are made. Remove cookies from basket and place on cookie rack to cool.

To Make The Icing or Glaze:

To make the glaze: combine confectioners sugar and heavy whipping cream in a bowl, mix well. If you’d like it thinner, add more heavy whipping cream. If you’d like it thicker, add more sugar once cookies are completely cool, drizzle glaze over them.

Pro Tips:

  • You can refrigerate the dough before baking for about twenty to thirty minutes if you’re worried about the cookies being too thin or feel like the dough is not staying chilled enough (For example, if you’re in an extra warm climate.)!
  • After cooking, these can be kept on the counter for up to 4 days or in the fridge for a week. These are so good, though. They generally don’t last more than a day or two! And, of course, you can freeze them for up to a month.
  • These are deliciously glazed or not. For a different variation, you could even drizzle a little caramel on top instead of the glaze!
