Apples and other ingredients needed to bake apples in the air fryer.

Apples-The best apples are the sweeter apples, so I use Gala, honey crisp, or Fuji medium apples, but you can use your favorite type of apple
Oats-I like to use Quaker Quick or Old Fashioned Oats
Raisins-add extra texture and sweetness to each bite
Brown sugar-adds extra sweetness with a touch of caramel flavor
Walnuts-gives the apples a nutty crunch
Ground Cinnamon-a sprinkle of nutmeg can be added too
Butter- unsalted butter
Optional: Chopped pecans and dried cranberries are great substitutions

STEP 2: Cut the tops of the apple off along with the stem. Then, cut a small part of the bottom of the apple as well. This will help it stand up without shifting or rolling.

STEP 3: Use an apple corer, melon baller or paring knife to scoop out the apple core and remove all seeds. Spoon the cinnamon oat apple filling into the cored apples until they are filled. Place the filled apples into the air fryer basket.

STEP 4: Air fry apples at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 10 minutes until the apples reach your desired softness. Let apples cool just enough to remove from basket, and serve warm.

TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST AIR FRYER BAKED APPLES

Don't overfill: Be careful you do not remove too much of the apple cavity. Make a small hollow center to fill with the oat mixture, about ¾ of inch wide.
Be careful removing the core: Make sure you remove enough of the center without going too far. You want to have enough room to fill them, but not so far down that it won't hold it's shape.

Add a Nutty Twist: Swap the walnuts for pecans or almonds. Just be sure to finely chop them so they aren't overwhelming the bite.
