Air Fryer Stuffed Baked Apples (Walnut & Raisin)

Tender air fryer baked apples stuffed with a buttery brown-sugar, walnut and raisin filling — a holiday-worthy dessert that fills the kitchen with cinnamon. The air fryer bakes them soft and caramelized with a crunchy, syrupy center.
They taste like the inside of an apple pie, no crust required. Serve warm with ice cream, custard, or a drizzle of the pan syrup.
Ingredients
Instructions
Hollow the apples
Wash the apples and hollow out the cores from the top, leaving the bottom intact to hold the filling.
Make the filling
Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, walnuts and raisins. Pack it into each apple and top with a little butter.
Air fry
Place in a dish with the hot water in the bottom and air fry at 360°F for about 30–35 minutes, until the apples are soft and the filling is bubbling.
- Leave the bottom of the apple intact so the filling doesn't leak.
- The water in the dish keeps them moist and makes a light syrup.
- Swap walnuts for pecans or almonds.
