Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Amaretto Apple Crumble

Here are the simple ingredients for your air fryer apple crumble.

Remember the step-by-step directions and detailed ingredient list are below, in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post, as well as the nutritional information.

• Apples: Sliced and layered to create a fruity base bursting with natural sweetness and tartness.
• Brown Sugar: Adds a rich, caramel-like flavor and a subtle molasses undertone to the crumble topping.
• Caramel Sauce: Drizzled over the apple filling for an extra indulgent touch of sweetness and gooey texture.
• Amaretto: Infuses the dish with a hint of almond flavor, enhancing the overall depth of the dessert.
• Butter: Cut into the crumble mixture to create a buttery and crumbly topping with irresistible golden-brown crispiness.
• All-Purpose Flour: Combined with butter and brown sugar to form the crumble topping, providing structure and texture.
• Granulated Sugar: Mixed with the apples and cinnamon to enhance their natural sweetness and add a touch of sweetness to the filling.
• Ground Cinnamon: Sprinkle over the apple filling for a warm and aromatic flavor that complements the fruit’s sweetness.

How To Make Apple Crumble In Air Fryer

To make Apple Crumble in the air fryer, follow these simple steps:

Peel and core apples. Slice into ⅛” pieces

Add apples to a large mixing bowl with brown sugar, caramel, and amaretto and toss to coat.  Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F, air fryer setting.

Lightly spray a baking tin or casserole dish small enough to fit in the air fryer with non-stick cooking spray, then arrange the apples in the pan. *For this recipe, we used an 8” casserole dish. 

Combine softened butter, flour, sugar, and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl. Mix until a crumb-like texture forms. 

Sprinkle crumbs over the apples and place them into the air fryer. Cook for 15 minutes. Serve with ice cream and drizzle with caramel.

Pro Tips

• For best results, use cold butter, which will give you a better topping than room-temperature butter.
• You can add other toppings, such as raisins or granola.
• This recipe will work in any Air Fryer Basket or Oven Model; I have even prepared this in the Ninja Foodi, and the results will be the same.
• Make sure that the Air Fryer Amaretto Apple Crumble is fully cooked before removing it from the Air Fryer. The cooking time will depend on what air fryer you own and what pan you use to cook it.

What Are The Best Apples To Use For Apple Crumble?

This is a great recipe for any apple. I prefer baking apples for this recipe, as they hold their shape during cooking. Some great options are Jonagold, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, Mutsu, Pink Lady, and Winesap.

Can Apple Crumble be made in advance?

Yes, this is a great recipe that can be prepared in advance. Make it per the instructions below, and then cover it and place it in the refrigerator.

You can make it about a day ahead of time. Then, air fry the Air Fryer Amaretto Apple Crumble.

Can you freeze Apple Crumble? I would not recommend freezing apple crumble, as I find that as the dessert defrosts, it becomes very watery. For best results, make it when you want to consume it. With the air fryer, it will only take minutes.

What is the difference between apple crisp and apple crumble? The only difference is that a crumble is traditionally served with a streusel topping, while a crisp is not.

Making An Air Fryer Fruit Crumble: You can use any fruit you want to make an air fryer fruit crumble. Some popular options are blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, pears, peaches, nectarines, and even pineapple. Don’t forget you can also combine the fruits to get a great winning combination.

What Baking Pans Can I Use In The Air Fryer? I have had a lot of luck baking in the Air Fryer, but I also realized that using the correct pan will determine its success. I highly recommend using a thinner baking or casserole dish than you are used to.

Some of my favorites are:

• MDZF SWEET HOME Ceramic Baking Dish for Oven Individual Roasting Lasagna Pan Small Casserole Bakeware with Handle, Gray
• Rachael Ray Solid Glaze Ceramics Au Gratin Bakeware / Baker Set, Oval – 2 Piece, Light Blue
