This Easy Air Fryer Apple Crisp is a quick and delicious dessert featuring tender cinnamon-spiced apples topped with a buttery oatmeal crisp. Perfectly cooked in an air fryer for a warm, comforting treat with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Apple Mixture

  • 1 apple, peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • Butter, softened (for buttering ramekins)

Oatmeal Topping

  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even cooking of the apple crisp.
  2. Prepare Apple Mixture: Wash, peel, and dice the apple into small pieces. In a bowl, combine the diced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and maple syrup, mixing well to coat the fruit evenly.
  3. Prepare Cooking Vessels: Butter your ramekins or cocottes with softened butter to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  4. Cook Apples: Spoon the apple mixture into the buttered ramekins and place them in the air fryer. Cook for 15 minutes or until the apples are tender and cooked through.
  5. Make Oatmeal Topping: While apples are cooking, mix melted butter, brown sugar, oats, flour, and cinnamon in a bowl until crumbly and well combined.
  6. Top and Finish Cooking: Remove the ramekins from the air fryer, sprinkle the oatmeal topping evenly over the cooked apples, then return to the air fryer and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the topping is golden and crisp.
  7. Serve: Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent finish.

Notes

  • You can substitute the apple with pears or mixed berries for variation.
  • Adjust cinnamon and sugar quantities to taste or dietary needs.
  • Using a non-stick ramekin or well-buttered dishes prevents sticking and makes serving easier.
  • For a vegan version, use a plant-based butter substitute and maple syrup.
  • This dessert is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently in the air fryer or oven.
