Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Cut and Core: Cut a small circle around each apple stem and scoop out the core, being careful not to cut through the bottom.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, oats, chopped nuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
  3. Stuff Apples: Stuff each apple cavity with the filling mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.
  4. Air Fry: Place stuffed apples upright in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 15–18 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the tops are golden and bubbly.
  5. Serve: Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
  • For nut-free versions, omit nuts or replace with sunflower seeds or granola.
  • Cooking time may vary slightly depending on apple size and air fryer model.
