Air Fryer Apple Crisp is a super easy single serving dessert for two. Just tender, cinnamon spiced apples with a crisp golden topping in less than 30 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine apples, lemon juice, white sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Divide the apple mixture between the prepared baking dishes.
Cover the baking dishes with aluminum foil.
Air fry for 10 minutes at 400°F.
In a small bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, brown sugar and melted butter. The topping mixture should be crumbly.
Open the air fryer and remove the foil. The apples should be fork tender. Spread the oat mixture over the apples.
Close the air fryer and air fry 5 minutes at 350°.
Remove the crisp from the air fryer and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and caramel sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
Baking dishes: Any baking dishes that can go in the oven can be used in the air fryer. I am using these cute 5 inch cast iron skillets. I have made this air fryer apple crisp in 4 inch ramekins, and because the ramekins are deeper, I needed an extra 2-3 minutes cooking time before the topping goes on for the apples to become tender. Alternatively, you can use one baking dish instead of single servings. Just as long as it fits in your air fryer, it will work!
Chopped apples: Try to cut the apples into fairly uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. I cut them into ½ inch pieces. If you cut them into larger pieces, you may have to increase the cooking time.
Vegan: You can make this recipe vegan by swapping the butter for coconut oil or vegan butter.
Toppings: Apple crisp is delicious just as it is. But this dessert also loves toppings. Top warm apple crisp with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. I love a drizzle of salted caramel sauce for a delicious caramel apple treat. Chocolate sauce or any fruit syrup are also great topping choices.
Storage: Let the apple crumbles come to room temperature before covering them with plastic wrap. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. To reheat, use the air fryer on 350°F for a few minutes.
Freezing: To freeze air fryer apple crisp, cover the baking dishes tightly with foil. Put the dishes in an airtight container or freezer bag. Freeze for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer.
