For the Caramel Whipped Cream Dipping Sauce:
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle over the apples, coating them evenly.
- Arrange the apple wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until the apples are tender and slightly crisp.

- Serve the warm apple wedges with the caramel whipped cream dipping sauce on the side, and drizzle extra caramel over the top if desired.

- For added flavor, drizzle extra caramel sauce over the apple wedges before serving.
