Description
Tender cinnamon apples under a crisp brown sugar and oat topping, baked in a small air-fryer-safe dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium firm apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, half of the cinnamon, and cornstarch.
- Fill the dish: Lightly grease a 7-inch air-fryer-safe baking dish and spread the apples evenly inside.
- Make the topping: Mix oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, and remaining cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter until coarse crumbs form.
- Assemble: Scatter the topping evenly over the apples without pressing it down.
- Air fry covered: Preheat to 330°F (166°C). Cover the dish tightly with foil and cook for 15 minutes.
- Brown and finish: Carefully remove the foil and cook for 8 to 10 minutes more until the filling bubbles and the topping is golden. Rest 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use only an air-fryer-safe dish with room for air to circulate. Appliance strength, apple variety, and slice thickness can change timing.
