These air-fryer apples will remind you of an old fashioned pie—and are ready in no time.

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • Line the bottom and sides of air-fryer basket with foil. Preheat air fryer to 350F.

  • 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.

  • Meanwhile, using a melon baller, scoop out and discard cores from apple halves. Scoop out more apple flesh, leaving a ½-in. border with the peel. (Apples should look like small bowls.) Finely chop the apple flesh and stir into oat mixture.

  • 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.
