What type of apples should I use for this recipe?

Our favorite fresh apples to use for the apple filling are Granny Smith apples. They are tart and firm, which will hold up well in the air fryer. Different varieties such as Honeycrisp or Braeburn would also work well. Be sure to avoid overly sweet apples like Golden Delicious or Rome for this recipe.

Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees. 

Start by slicing your favorite apples, like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, and toss them with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. 

For the topping, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, and butter until crumbly. 

For added texture, consider using quick oats or old-fashioned oats in the topping.

Sprinkle the topping generously over the apples.

Air fry until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown, typically, about 15-20 minutes but cooking times may vary based on your air fryer model.

Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce or whipped cream.

Yes, here’s how:

• Prepare the filling and topping separately in an airtight containers in the refrigerator.
