Warm, tender air fryer baked apples with a cinnamon-sugar center — a cozy, naturally sweet dessert ready in about 15 minutes. The air fryer softens the apples to spoonable perfection while the tops caramelize.

They're a wholesome treat that tastes like apple pie without the crust. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of yogurt.
