Air fryer baked apples method

To make air fryer baked apples you will need the following:

Step 1:Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Rinse and dry the apples and remove the stems.

Step 2:Core the apples using a melon baller or a knife/spoon, being careful not to pierce through the bottom.

Step 3:In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Step 4:Stuff the apples starting with a spoonful of the sugar mixture, followed by a small knob of butter and chopped pecans.

Step 5:Place the stuffed apples either directly into the air fryer basket or in a small cake pan if you want to collect any juice that comes out of the apples.

Step 6:Cook the apples for 10-15 minutes. The apples should hold their shape but start to wrinkle and shrink slightly. Larger apples may require more time.

Step 7:Remove the apples and serve on their own, or top with ice cream for an extra treat.

Air fryer baked apples wrap-up

These air fryer baked apples are a treat in terms of both their taste and how easy they are to make.

The air fryer makes sure the apples are tender, juicy, and infused with the flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg. If you have a nut allergy but still want the crunch that the nuts provide, try adding dried fruits. You can also replace the butter with honey or maple syrup.

This is a dish that not only satisfies my sweet tooth but is simple and quick, making it a great dessert for any occasion. Even my children love them.
