This air-fryer apple crisp recipe makes it easy to turn a plain apple and a few pantry ingredients into a sweet, cozy treat in less than 30 minutes. Choose your favorite sweet or tart apple variety, and top it with a simple cinnamon streusel that crisps in the air fryer<\/a>. When you need dessert in a pinch, this recipe is perfect, and it’s even better with a scoop of ice cream.<\/p>\n Desserts made with apples or other fruit, such as cobblers, crumbles, crisps and buckles<\/a>, are easy to confuse. A crisp and a crumble are similar in that they each have a streusel topping and a bottom layer of sweetened fruit that gets juicy and tender once baked. The difference is in a crisp’s topping, which generally, unlike a crumble’s, includes oats, spices like cinnamon, and chopped nuts. In this apple crisp for the air fryer, we also use a touch of maple syrup\u2014a perfect complement to apples that brings out their natural sweetness.<\/p>\n Traditionally, apple crisp is made as a large dessert in the oven, but this recipe, like many other air-fryer desserts,<\/a> is perfectly portioned for just one or two people.<\/p>\n While your air fryer preheats to 350\u00b0F, grease the tray that sits inside the basket. Brush both apple halves with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> If you’re looking for the best way to peel an apple, our Test Kitchen found the best apple peeler<\/a> for the job.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter with the oats, maple syrup, flour and cinnamon. Divide this filling between the two apple halves, spooning it into the centers.<\/p>\n Set the filled apples on the tray of the air fryer. Spray a little cooking spray over the tops. Place the tray in the air fryer and cook the apples for 12 to 15 minutes, until the apple halves are tender and the streusel is fragrant and golden brown.<\/p>\n Enjoy the apple crisp warm with a little sprinkle of cinnamon and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.<\/p>\n Allow the leftover apple crisp to cool completely, then wrap it on a plate or move it to a small airtight container. Store the apple crisp in the fridge and, for the best texture, eat it within three days. When you’re ready to eat it, warm the apple crisp on the reheat setting in the air fryer or on a baking sheet in a low-temperature oven.<\/p>\n Yes! Set the filled apple halves into a greased square baking dish and cover the dish with foil. Bake the apples in a 375\u00b0 oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake the apples for another 10 to 15 minutes until the streusel topping is browned and crisped. Another option is to make a traditional apple crisp<\/a> with chopped apples and a layer of streusel on top.<\/p>\n The best apples for apple crisp<\/a> depends on the texture and level of sweetness you prefer. Some folks like firmer pieces of apple, while others prefer a softer stewed-apple texture. For a tart flavor and firm texture, try Granny Smith apples. Braeburn, Honeycrisp and Fuji will keep their shape when baked but have more sweetness. For a soft texture, try McIntosh or Cortland.<\/p>\n If your crisp needs more browning, try increasing the temperature of the air fryer to 375\u00b0 and cooking it for a few minutes longer. Watch the apple crisp carefully so that it doesn’t burn. Usually getting the streusel to brown on an apple crisp in the air fryer shouldn’t be a problem. Despite their small size, air fryers are made for maximum surface browning and crisping.<\/p>\n The classic way to serve apple crisp is with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, but try other ice cream flavors too, like caramel swirl, butter pecan<\/a>, pumpkin or blackberry. A dollop of homemade whipped cream<\/a> or a drizzle of salted caramel sauce<\/a> is also delicious with the crisp. Or, serve your apple crisp the New England way, with a slice of sharp cheddar.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Air-fryer apple crisp is a sweet, single-serving
