Ingredients
1 Pack of Wow Bao Cinnamon Apple Bao (frozen)
Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)
Optional Add-Ons & Extras:
Powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar for garnish
A drizzle of caramel sauce or honey for added sweetness
A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a perfect dessert pairing
Chopped toasted pecans or walnuts for extra crunch
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures even heating while keeping the bao soft and fluffy.
Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Bao
Remove the bao from the packaging.
Lightly spray both sides with cooking spray to keep the outer layer from becoming too dry (optional).
Place the bao in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch.
Step 3: Air Fry the Cinnamon Apple Bao
Cook at 350°F for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through for even heating.
For Extra Softness: Lightly mist the bao with water before cooking to retain moisture.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove the bao from the air fryer and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before eating (the filling will be hot!).
Garnish with powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
How to Serve Wow Bao Cinnamon Apple Bao
Classic Dessert Style: Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar and fresh fruit.
Decadent Upgrade: Pair with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Extra Crunch: Sprinkle with chopped toasted pecans or walnuts.
Pro Tips for Best Results
Don’t overcrowd the basket—cook in batches if necessary.
For an extra soft bao, mist with water before air frying.
Want a slightly crispier exterior? Increase temperature to 375°F for the last 1-2 minutes.
For an even more molten center, let the bao sit for 1 minute before cutting into it.
