Air Fryer Apple Crisp
This Air Fryer Apple Crisp is a cinch to make in an air fryer. With a buttery oatmeal streusel topping, it tastes great topped with vanilla ice cream.
How To Serve Air Fryer Apple Crisp
This individual-sized dessert make a wonderful fall dessert but can be served anytime of year. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or some fresh whipped cream. You can also drizzle them with a little caramel sauce. Yum! The petite size will keep you from overindulging.
Cooking Desserts In The Air Fryer
The air fryer is perfect for making smaller-sized desserts. You can easily cut this recipe in half and just make 2 small crisps.
How To Make Air Fryer Apple Crisp
- Peel your apples. You can leave a little skin on for some texture contrast but it’s good to peel at least half the skin off. Core and finely dice the apple.
- Mix the apple together with brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, lemon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Divide apple mixture evenly between 4 greased ramekins. Cover each with foil and air fry at 350 degrees for 9 to 10 minutes.
- While the apples are air frying, make the oat mixture.
- Carefully remove foil from ramekins and sprinkle on topping. Air fry uncovered for 5 to 7 minutes.
Type of Apple To Use
I like to use Granny Smith apples. Their tart flavor goes well with brown sugar and cinnamon. Honey Crisp or Gala apples can be used instead.
Variations
- Add a tablespoon of dried cranberries to the apple mixture.
- Use quick-cooking oats instead of old-fashioned.
What Size Ramekins To Use
I use 4-ounce ramekins which make a really small apple crisp, which is good because I like to load my apple crisp up with vanilla ice cream. You can use 6-ounce ramekins and make 3 of them but you may need to cook them for a little longer.
Recipe Tip
If you want the apples to still be a little crisp, reduce the time you cook them covered with foil to 7 minutes.
