Calories: 279kcal
Equipment
- Air fryer
- 4 small ramekins or one 6-inch baking dish
- Mixing bowls
- Fork
Ingredients
For the apple filling:
- 3 apples chopped (Granny Smith recommended)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
For the crisp topping:
- ½ cup oats
- ¼ cup flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Chop the apples into roughly ½-inch pieces, peeling is optional.
- In a bowl, combine the apples, sugar, corn starch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon zest, and stir until fully coated.
- In a second bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the dry topping mixture and stir with a fork until crumbly, with small clumps forming.
- Divide the apple filling among 4 ramekins or transfer to one 6-inch baking dish, pressing down gently to compact.
- Scatter the oat topping evenly over the apples without pressing it down.
- Place in the air fryer basket and cook at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling at the edges.
- Test the apples with a fork for tenderness, adding 2 to 3 more minutes if needed.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Granny Smith apples hold their shape best, but Honeycrisp works well too if you like a sweeter bite.
- Keep the topping loose when adding it. Packing it down leads to a gummy texture instead of a crisp one.
- Leftovers store in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat best in the air fryer.
- Doubling the recipe may require cooking in batches depending on your air fryer size.
