Air Fryer Baked Apples are a quick, healthy, and delicious dessert perfect for any time of the day. These apples, filled with a spiced oat mixture and baked to perfection, offer a warm and comforting treat.
Carefully core the apples, making sure not to puncture the bottom.
In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, nuts (if using), raisins (if using), maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Spoon the filling mixture into each cored apple, packing it slightly.
Line the air fryer basket with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
Place the filled apples in the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 18-20 minutes, until the apples are tender and the filling is golden brown and bubbling.
Serve immediately. Optional: Drizzle with a bit more maple syrup or top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Choose firm apples for the best results; softer apples may become mushy.
Store any leftover baked apples in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
To reheat, place the baked apples back in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes at 350°F or until heated through.
