Ingredients

4 medium apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored, halved
1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
3 tbsp brown sugar, packed
3 tbsp unsalted butter, cold, cubed
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
as needed whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Instructions

1

In a small bowl, combine 1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 3 tbsp packed brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/8 tsp salt. Add 3 tbsp cold, cubed unsalted butter and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract. Use your fingers to work the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbles.
2

Core and halve 4 cored, halved medium apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji). Use a spoon to slightly enlarge the hollow so there is room for the crumble filling.
3

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
4

Spoon the oat crumble mixture generously into each apple half, pressing lightly so it mounds slightly.
5

Place filled apple halves in the air fryer basket, crumble side up. Air fry for 15-18 minutes until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the crumble is golden brown.
6

Let cool for 2 minutes, then serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving).

Questions

Can I make Air Fryer Baked Apples with Oat Crumble dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 3 tbsp unsalted butter, cold, cubed, as needed whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving). Swap the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed; the whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving) for a plant-based version of the same product. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats. Swap the oats for certified gluten-free oats. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Air Fryer Baked Apples with Oat Crumble keep?

Keep it covered in the refrigerator and eat it within three days.

Can I halve or double Air Fryer Baked Apples with Oat Crumble?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, air-fry in batches; a crowded basket steams instead of crisping.
