Apples to use
Cooked apples are such a delicious treat, on their own or in a dessert, and a lot of that goodness comes from the type of apple you use.
In this recipe, I recommend a blend of green and red apples to balance the tart and the sweet.
Green apples: Granny Smith and Golden Delicious
Red apples: Pink Lady, Honeycrisp, and Gala
How to make air fryer apple crisp
- Wash and core your apples. Next, dice your apples! I like leaving the skin on, but you can also peel them before dicing. Then toss the apples with corn starch.
- Pour the maple syrup and spices over the apples.
- Stir to mix apples with ingredients.
- Pour into an oven safe dish or an air fryer pot.
- Then, mix your rolled oats, chopped pecans, sugar, cinnamon, and maple syrup for your crisp topping in a large bowl.
- Then, add the crisp topping to the apples in the air fryer pot. Air Fry at 350F (176C) for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.
serving ideas
This vegan dessert is great on its own! It doesn’t have a crust, so it’s more scoop and serve than slice and serve.
