Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 4 medium apples e.g., Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp brown sugar adjust to taste
For the Topping:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter cubed (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Apples:
- In a bowl, toss the sliced apples with ground cinnamon and brown sugar until evenly coated.
Arrange the Apples:
- Place the sliced apples in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Make the Topping:
- In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, brown sugar, cubed butter, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Use your fingers or a fork to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the Topping:
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples in the air fryer basket.
Air Fry:
- Cook the apple crisp in the air fryer for 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Cool and Serve:
- Carefully remove the air fryer basket and let the apple crisp cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Notes
- Feel free to experiment with different apple varieties for a unique flavor profile.
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of sugar based on your taste.
- For added crunch, consider mixing in nuts or dried fruits into the topping.
