Notes
This Air Fryer recipe uses an Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven. Not all Air Fryers cook the same way. It’s best to keep watch during your initial tests after purchasing.
TIPS:
Pre-heat Air Fryer, using the “grill” settings at 400°F, 204.44°C or 205°C.
Make sure the pineapples are completely dry before adding butter, cinnamon, and sugar.
Use canned pineapples all year round.
During peak season, the abundance of fresh pineapples would be ideal. Fresh pineapples tend to be sweeter particularly at the base so you may need to adjust the sugar as needed.
