These Air Fryer Apples are soft, loaded with cinnamon flavor and topped with a honey oat topping for the perfect crispy finish. Pair with ice cream or whipped cream for the perfect finish!
Begin by preheating your air fryer. While the air fryer is preheating, prepare the apples and topping. Add all the topping ingredients to a small prep bowl and stir to combine. Make sure to distribute the honey well so all the oats are coated. Set aside.
Combine the melted butter and cinnamon in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
Slice the apple in half through the core. Use a knife or spoon to remove the seeds and core from the center of each apple half. Be carful not to cut too deep and break the apple. Brush each apple half with the melted butter combination.
Spray the basket of your preheated air fryer with cooking spray and carefully place each apple in. Depending on the size of your air fryer you may need to cook in several batches. Close the lid and press START, then AIR CRISP and set the TEMP to 350 degrees F using the arrows. Next, set the TIME to 15 Minutes then press START.
After 15 minutes check the apples, they should be soft and the oat topping should be browned. Once they are finished remove the apples with tongs and enjoy warm with additional honey, vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!
