How To Make Air Fryer Baked Apples With Granola

Start by cutting the apple’s top off.

Then use a knife to cut the apple, leaving enough room between the skin and the apple, so it doesn’t fall apart. Then use a spoon to dig the center out.

In a small bowl, mix the filling. Spoon the filling into the center of the apple. Set the filled apples into the air fryer basket or oven. Set the temperature to 340 degrees F (air fryer setting) for 10 to 12 minutes.

Some Pro Tips for Making Air Fryer Baked Apples

• If you find that the apples are browning too quickly, tightly add a piece of foil around the top of the apples.
• You can use any dried fruit, today I used a combination of raisins and currants, but you can use any dried fruit.
• If you want a nut-free option, you can omit the nuts.
• You can use any apple that you want; there are so many that you can use.
• You do not need to peel your apple, and it actually helps keep the apple whole as it cooks up.
