Apple Pie Baked Apples

Method

  1. 1

    Core apples from the top, leaving the bottom intact to hold the filling. Scoop out about 1 inch of space.

  2. 2

    Mix brown sugar, oats, softened butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and nuts.

  3. 3

    Pack the filling into each cored apple, mounding on top.

  4. 4

    Air fry at 350°F for 15-18 minutes until apples are tender when pierced with a knife and filling is bubbly.

  5. 5

    Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Pro tip. Honeycrisp holds its shape best while getting tender. Don't core all the way through — you need a bottom to hold the filling. If apples are large, they may need a few extra minutes.

Why the air fryer wins here

  • Ready in 18 minutes. The same dish takes about 31 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
  • Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
  • Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.

Storing and reheating

Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.

Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
