Air Fryer Apple Pie Baked Apples
Air Fryer Apple Pie Baked Apples are like individual apple pies in an apple shell. You get double the apple plus a golden apple pie crust. Top with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce and you have a wonderful fall dessert.
How To Make
- Make the apple filling. Cook a diced apple with sugar, water, and cornstrach in a small saucepan for 5 minutes to soften the apple. Then stir in vanilla and salt. Let cool.
- Slice the top off of two apples and hollow them out.
- Fill the apples with apple filling. Sprinkle toffee bits on top.
- Unroll pie crust and cut into 1/4-inch strips. Arrange strips in 2 lattice patterns. Place on eon top of each apple. Trim the excess pie crust and press the ends onto the apples. Brush pie dough with oil.
- Air fry at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce.
To Peel Or Not Peel The Apples
Your choice. You can peel the apples or leave the skin on. Or you can peel most of the skin and leave a little on which is what I typically do.
Which Apples To Use
The tart flavor of Granny Smith apples works really well for this recipe. Honey Crisp, Pink Lady, and Gala also work really well.
Recipe Shortcut
Use a can of apple pie filling instead of making the from-scratch apple filling.
Cooking Times Vary
Cooking times between different air fryer brands and models can vary greatly so use the cooking time as an estimate. I use the Cosori 5.8-quart Air Fryer.
How To Store
These apples taste best when eaten right away but you can refrigerate them in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days. reheat in the air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes.
