Ingredients

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons oats
  • 2 tablespoons raisins
  • 2 tablespoons walnuts, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Main Ingredient

  • 4 medium apples

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine oats, raisins, brown sugar, chopped walnuts, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is well combined. Set aside while you prepare the apples.
  2. Prepare the apples: Cut off the tops of the apples along with the stems. Trim a small portion of the apple bottoms so they can stand upright without wobbling.
  3. Core the apples: Using an apple corer, melon baller, or paring knife, scoop out the core and remove all seeds to create a hollow center for the filling.
  4. Fill the apples: Spoon the prepared oat mixture into the hollowed apples, filling them completely. Place the filled apples upright into the basket of the air fryer.
  5. Air fry the apples: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Cook the filled apples for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they reach your preferred softness.
  6. Serve: Allow the apples to cool slightly before removing them from the air fryer basket. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Choose firm apples like Gala or Honeycrisp for the best texture after air frying.
  • Adjust the cooking time slightly depending on the size and ripeness of the apples.
  • For extra flavor, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup on top before serving.
  • You can substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds as preferred.
  • To make it vegan, replace butter with a plant-based alternative.
