Equipment
- Baking Dish
- small bowl
- medium bowl
- chopping board
- paring knife
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
Topping:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- ⅛ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons old-fashioned oats
- pinch ground nutmeg
- pinch of kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into small cubes and room temperature
Filling:
- 3 Granny Smith apples peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar more if you like the apples sweeter
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees.
- Core and chop the apples into bite-sized pieces on a cutting board, and add them to an oven-safe dish that fits in your air fryer (a 5-inch Ramekin works well).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to create a slurry.
- Pour the slurry over the apples, and add the cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt. Stir everything together until the apples are evenly coated.
- In a medium shallow bowl, combine all the topping ingredients using a fork or pastry blender. It's okay if there are still little chunks of butter, just be sure all the flour is incorporated.
- Pour the topping mixture over the apples and pat down to form a secure crust so the topping doesn't fly all around the air fryer.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 370 degrees or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are softened.
- Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream!
Notes
- Use a small oven-safe dish that fits in your air fryer for an evenly cooked apple crisp.
- Be sure to mix the slurry well to ensure that the cornstarch is evenly distributed throughout the filling.
- Don't overmix the topping mixture. It's okay if there are still little chunks of butter, just be sure all the flour is incorporated.
- If you want a sweeter apple crisp, add more brown sugar to the filling.
