Ingredients
- 1 pineapple peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F and lightly spray with non-stick spray.
- In a bowl, combine the pineapple cubes, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and the cinnamon. Toss gently to coat the pineapple evenly.
- Place the coated pineapple cubes into the preheated air fryer basket. Make sure they don’t overlap too much, or else they will not cook properly. A little overlap is ok.
- Air fry the pineapple for 12 - 16 minutes, pausing at the halfway mark to give the basket a shake. They should be golden, juicy, and tender on the inside.
- Once done, carefully remove the pineapple from the air fryer and drizzle the remaining tablespoon of maple syrup over the top.
- Serve the warm maple cinnamon pineapple on its own, or pair it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!

Notes
- Maple Syrup: You can use honey or brown sugar if needed.
- Pineapple Rings: The cook time should remain the same or decrease slightly; check at the 10-minute mark.
- Pineapple Spears: The cook time may increase since the pineapple pieces are larger; check at the 14-minute mark and add more time if needed.
- Canned Pineapple: The air fry time will decrease since canned pineapple is usually softer. Start with 8 – 12 minutes, check to see how they are cooking, and add more time if needed.
- Pre-Cut Pineapple: Cut it into 1-inch chunks (if not already). The air fry time will remain the same.
- Frozen Pineapple: While fresh pineapple is recommended, you can use frozen pineapple. Do not thaw the frozen pineapple chunks; remember that the texture will be a little softer.
- Storing: Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheating: You can reheat in the oven or toaster oven at 350ºF for about 8 – 12 minutes, in the air fryer at 350°F for 4 – 7 minutes, or in the microwave for 1 minute.
