Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for 3–4 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Patties

Step 3: Air Fry to Perfection

• Cook at 370°F for 7–9 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

Use a Thermometer

Even though they’re fully cooked, ensure patties reach 165°F for best results.

Flip for Even Browning

Turning halfway through helps achieve a crispy texture on both sides.

Don’t Overcrowd the Basket

Give each patty room to crisp up—cook in batches if necessary.

Watch the Final Minute

Due to the maple and apple content, patties can brown quickly—check closely near the end.
