Equipment

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 3 Apples Granny Smith, Braeburn or Pink Lady
  • 1 tablespoon Butter melted
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon

For the crumble topping

  • 50 g Oats
  • 2 tablespoon Butter melted
  • 2 tablespoon Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Plain Flour

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350F).
  • Mix together the crumble topping ingredients in a mixing bowl.
    50 g Oats, 2 tablespoon Butter, 2 tablespoon Honey, 1 teaspoon Light Brown Sugar, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, 1 teaspoon Plain Flour
  • Cut the apples in half through the stem, then core them and remove the seeds.
    3 Apples
  • Brush melted butter over the cut sides of the apples with a pastry brush, then sprinkle with the ground cinnamon.
    1 tablespoon Butter, ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • Spoon the oat crumble topping onto each apple (compacting it down with a spoon) and place them in the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry at 180C (350F) for 12-15 minutes until the apple is tender and the crumble is golden brown. Start testing the apples after 10 minutes.

Notes

Expert Tips:
  • You can cook the apples in the oven if you don't have an air fryer - 180C/ 350F for 20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden and crisp.
  • You can use any apple, but try to use fresh firm ones that won't disintegrate on cooking.
  • If you find that the top is getting too brown, then cover the top with foil. Foil is completely safe to use in an air fryer.
  • Make the apples in your instant pot or pressure cooker instead!
 
Variations:
  • Make healthy baked apples and leave out the brown sugar from the topping.
  • Swap the oats for crushed cornflakes or granola.
  • Use ground almonds instead of plain flour.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg as well as cinnamon.
  • Add chopped nuts to the crumble topping. Pecan nuts or walnuts would both work well.
 
Storage:
Store - Store leftover baked apples in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat - In the air fryer for 3-4 minutes, or in a hot oven.
Freeze - The air fryer baked apples are not suitable for freezing.
