Notes
This Air Fryer recipe uses an Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven. Not all Air Fryers cook the same way. It’s best to keep watch during your initial tests after purchasing.
I used Gala apples but Fuji, Honeycrisp, and Granny Smith are delicious choices too.
Two small apples can be used instead of 1 medium apple.
The apple filling is tender once it reaches 12 minutes but to get an even browning on top, it’s best to add a few more minutes.
Keep an eye on the last 3 minutes in the Air Fryer to avoid over browning the topping.
If you have a sweet tooth and prefer a sweeter version, add 1 teaspoon or 2 of brown sugar into the filling. But the sweetness in this recipe is perfect for those who wish to avoid overly sweet desserts.
