How To Make Easy Air Fryer Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal
Step One: Peel and dice apples into small pieces. Place diced apple, cinnamon, brown sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl and mix.
Step Two: Place mixture in an oven-safe dish and cover with foil. Air Fry covered in the air fryer at air fryer temperature of 350 degrees F, (175 degrees C) with a cook time of 12-15 minutes, then remove foil and bake for another 5 minutes.
Step Three: Meanwhile, stir together rolled oats, walnuts, cinnamon, allspice, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in another bowl. Next, stir in milk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract and mix until ingredients are well combined.
Step Four: Once the apple has cooked, pour it into a bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Divide the mixture evenly into three ramekins.
Step Five: Add the ramekin in the air fryer at 320 degrees F or 160 degrees C, with a cook time of 8-10 minutes until the top is golden. Allow 5 minutes to cool before serving.
Easy Air Fryer Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal Recipe Tips
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to keep chunks from getting mushy.
- Grease your dish lightly with oil or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup or brown sugar to taste.
- Add mix-ins like chopped nuts or raisins for extra texture and flavor.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
Storing Instructions
Allow the baked oatmeal to cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days and reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30–60 seconds or in the air fryer for 3–5 minutes until warm.
Air Fryer Apple Pie Baked Oatmeal Recipe Faqs
Can I use steel-cut oats for the recipe? Although steel-cut oats are amazing, they will not cook up thoroughly in this recipe. I have not found success with making steel-cut oats in the air fryer.
What size bowl or pan is best for the baked oats? Do you love baked oats for breakfast? If so, you might be wondering what size bowl or pan to use. You can use either 8-ounce ramekins or 6-ounce ramekins. The cooking time will not change that much. Remember to watch the oatmeal as it bakes up, and remove it when the oatmeal is fully cooked.
Can I make this in a muffin or in a cake pan? Muffin tins and cake pans are popular kitchen tools for a reason—they’re versatile! You can easily make this in a muffin tin or cake pan if you do not have ramekins. If you use a cake pan, you will need to double the recipe for enough oatmeal to fill the cake pan. The cooking time will change. Use the same temperature, but cook until it’s fully baked.
What To Serve With Air Fryer Apple Oatmeal Oatmeal is a classic breakfast food that you can enjoy in many different ways. You can efficiently serve this with maple syrup, granulated sugar, peanut butter, or even more fresh apples.
How To Store Air-Fried Apple Oatmeal For best results, eat these after three days of cooking. You can easily store these in your refrigerator for a quick breakfast or snack.
How To Reheat Apple Oatmeal In Air Fryer You can reheat in the microwave, and heat until warmed through. Add some more milk for rehydrating the oatmeal.
How To Freeze Apple Oatmeal This is an easy recipe to freeze; let it cool to room temperature and remove the ramekins oatmeal. Place the room temperature oatmeal into a freezer-safe container or freezer bag. They will last in the freezer for about 2 to 3 months. When ready to eat it, let it defrost in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the microwave. Add some milk or water to help rehydrate the oatmeal.
