Air-Fryer Baked Apples

Naturally sweetened, warm, cozy, rustic all-natural dessert you can easily make after dinner tonight.

A dollop of whipped coconut cream or high-quality vanilla bean ice cream on top = so good!

It took me a while to jump on the airfryer bandwagon because I felt that I already had too many small appliances. The part I didn’t foresee was that I’d end up using my airfryer multiple times each and every day. From quickly warming up lunch, cooking something fast for dinner, and even creating desserts and treats without heating up my larger oven. Worth it!

I’m completely obsessed with the overall simplicity and convenience of my airfryer these days. Now I look for more things to try to cook in it, and they always turn out better than I could have imagined! These warm delicious apples are no exception.

Fairly simple to throw together after dinner (fun family project too!) and they’re completely and utterly divine! We have that warm bubbly taste of apple pie without the hour(s) of work needed to enjoy.

Your house will smell amazing while they’re cooking and you’ll feel great about knowing each and every ingredient.

Sending you warm cozy and delicious memories from my kitchen to yours throughout the holiday season and always.

Did you know?

CINNAMON is one of the most “comfort food”-like spices – and it’s surprisingly packed with nutrition.

Cinnamon has one of the highest antioxidant concentrations of ALL herbs and spices … and is linked with better blood sugar management.

Researchers are exploring cinnamon’s effect in battling diabetes, heart disease, viruses such as HIV, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, and so much more!

Add cinnamon to your beverages and desserts … put it in your chilis and stir-fries … or give your yogurt or chia pudding a boost with it.

When you’re shopping, be sure to look for Ceylon cinnamon (vs. Cassia). It’s safer and contains more of the compound (cinnamaldehyde) that makes cinnamon so nutritious.

REFERENCE:

• Healthline

The sweetness factor is such a PERSONAL preference, so please consider this when adding in raw honey, or maple syrup. Depending on your taste, you may want a bit more or less.

4 servings

Ingredients:

• 4 large apples of choice (McIntosh, Sugarbee, Gala, Fuji, Honeycrisp, Jonathan, etc.)
• 1 Tbsp melted grass-fed butter, ghee, or unrefined coconut oil
• 1 tsp cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

Filling:

• 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 Tbsp melted grass-fed butter, ghee, or unrefined coconut oil
• 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1 Tbsp raw honey
• 2 Tbsps golden raisins
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

For another version try adding fresh squeezed orange juice, and a bit of orange peel (zest).

Topping ideas:

• Greek or coconut yogurt
• whipped coconut cream
• maple syrup or raw honey
• walnuts or pecans

Instructions:

In a medium bowl stir all of your filling ingredients together really well.

Chop the tops off of your apples and use an apple corer or a small knife to remove the seeds and tough part of the core. Scoop out just a bit more than necessary from the flesh to create some space for your filling. We just ate the extra pieces!

Brush the inside and outside of the prepared apples with melted butter or ghee, and sprinkle with the cinnamon or pumpkin spice blend. Use your hands to rub spices all over the outside and inside of the apples.

Transfer your apples to your airfryer basket then stuff each with the oat filling.

Air fry at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until nicely softened.

Serve your apples while warm with a dollop of yogurt, whipped coconut cream, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, and a small drizzle of maple syrup or raw honey if desired.

Enjoy!
