Questions I often get asked about this recipe:

Can I use frozen apples for this recipe?
While fresh apples are ideal for their texture and flavor, you can use frozen apples. However, be aware that the cook time might need to be adjusted slightly as frozen apples contain more moisture. Make sure to thaw them completely before using.

What kind of apples are best for apple crisp?
Granny Smith apples offer a tart flavor, while Honeycrisp apples provide a sweet and crisp taste. A combination of both can create a delicious balance. Other good options include Fuji, Gala, and Braeburn apples.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Absolutely! To make the recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free all-purpose flour and certified gluten-free oats. Additionally, ensure that your butter doesn’t contain any gluten-containing additives.

How do I store leftovers?
Let the apple crisp cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 2-3 days. To reheat, warm it up in the air fryer or microwave until heated through.

Can I add other fruits to this recipe?
Yes, you can definitely experiment with different fruits. Pears, peaches, or berries can be delicious additions to the apple crisp. Adjust the sugar and spice amounts according to the sweetness of the fruit you choose.

What can I substitute for butter in the topping?
If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, you can replace butter with vegan butter or coconut oil. However, the texture of the topping might be slightly different.

What you need to make Air Fryer Apple Crisp:

For the filling:

4-5 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

For the topping:

1/2 cup old-fashioned oats

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

How to make it:

Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice apples into 1/2-inch thick slices.

Combine filling ingredients: In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat evenly.

Make the topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Assemble the crisp: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the apple mixture to an air fryer-safe dish. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.

Cook: Place the dish in the air fryer and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips:

For a crispier topping, increase the baking time by a few minutes.

You can add other spices to the topping, such as cardamom or ginger, for additional flavor.

For a richer dessert, use a combination of brown and white sugar in the topping.
