These air-fryer apples will remind you of an old fashioned pie—and are ready in no time.
1/3 cup large-flake oats
3 tbsp milk, or 10% cream
2 tbsp maple syrup
3 tbsp melted butter, divided
3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 dates, finely chopped or 2 tbsp chopped dried cranberries
2 tbsp chopped pecans, optional
3 honeycrisp apples, about 240g each, halved crosswise
whipped cream, optional
honey, optional
Combine oats with milk, maple syrup, 2 tbsp butter, pumpkin pie spice, dates, and pecans (if using) in a medium bowl. Let stand until liquid is absorbed, 10 to 15 min.
Fill each apple bowl with oat mixture. Arrange in air-fryer basket. Brush tops with remaining 1 tbsp butter.
Air-fry until apples are fork-tender, 18 to 20 min. Serve warm, or transfer to a rack to cool completely before refrigerating in a sealed container for up to 5 days. Dollop with whipped cream and drizzle with honey before serving, if desired.
