Transforming a simple dessert into a delightfully easy treat, air fryer baked apples are a perfect way to savour the flavours of autumn. Begin by choosing firm, tart apples such as Bramleys or Granny Smiths, which hold their shape beautifully during cooking. Core the apples and fill the cavities with a mixture of cinnamon, sugar, and a touch of butter for a sumptuous filling.

Place the prepared apples in your air fryer basket, allowing space between them for even cooking. Set the temperature to a moderate heat and let the machine work its magic. In mere minutes, the apples become tender, their natural sweetness intensifying, while the warm spices create an inviting aroma that fills your kitchen.

Serve them warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce, and enjoy a comforting dessert that’s as simple as it is delicious. Perfect for a cosy evening in or as a light end to a dinner party, air fryer baked apples are a foolproof way to impress without the fuss.
