Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Baked Apples
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.
Ingredients
Instructions
Core
Wash the apples and cut a small well in the top of each, removing the core but not cutting all the way through.
Fill
Fill each well with sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon, and add a splash of water (or a small knob of butter).
Air fry
Air fry at 350°F for about 13–15 minutes, until the apples are tender and the tops are caramelized.
- Firm apples hold their shape best.
- Don't cut all the way through so the filling stays in.
- Add raisins, walnuts or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
