Ingredients
  

Apple Mixture
  • 3 medium medium apples (peeled and diced, about 2 cups) Select firm varieties for the best results. Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work wonderfully!
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice Freshly squeezed will provide the best flavor.
  • 2 tsp granulated sugar Adjust based on the sweetness of your apples.
  • 1 tsp cinnamon The warm spice that brings everything to life!
  • 1/4 tsp salt Just a pinch to enhance all the flavors.
Topping
  • 3 tbsp rolled oats Old-fashioned oats lend great texture.
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour Substitute gluten-free flour if needed.
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar For that lovely caramel flavor.
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted Room temperature or slightly warmed for easier mixing.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by buttering or greasing two 5-inch oven-safe baking dishes to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the peeled and diced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Toss until the apples are well coated.
  3. Divide the apple mixture evenly between the prepared baking dishes, spreading it out for even cooking.
Air Frying
  1. Cover the dishes with aluminum foil and air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes to soften the apples.
  2. While the apples are cooking, mix together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and melted butter in a small bowl until crumbly.
  3. After 10 minutes, remove the foil and check if the apples are fork-tender. If they are, sprinkle the oat mixture generously over the apples.
  4. Close the air fryer and air fry at 350°F for an additional 5 minutes or until the topping is golden and crispy.
Serving
  1. Let the crisp cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy it topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.

Notes

You can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave for best results.
