Air Fryer Baked Apples
Today, I’m thrilled to share a delightful treat that combines simplicity with cozy, comforting flavors: Air Fryer Baked Apples. This recipe is a modern twist on a classic dessert, perfect for those chilly evenings when you crave something sweet but easy to prepare.
Why Choose Air Fryer Baked Apples?
Using an air fryer for baking apples not only speeds up the cooking process but also provides a healthier alternative to traditional baking methods. The air fryer uses hot air to cook the apples, reducing the need for excessive oil or butter.
Ingredients
- 4 large apples, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 4 teaspoons butter
- Optional: 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries
Instructions
- Start by coring the apples, making sure to leave the bottom intact to create a well for the fillings.
- In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and nuts (and raisins if using).
- Stuff each apple with the sugar and spice mixture, then top each with a teaspoon of butter.
- Place the apples in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching.
- Cook at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and bubbly.
