I can’t believe I’ve never posted this recipe. I make baked apples alllll the time. And probably talk about them even more. Why haven’t I posted this??
Baking apples in the air fryer is probably the laziest way to make food I can think of. Seriously it takes 5 minutes of prep, your inattention for 20 minutes and then as Alyssa says “La La!” they are ready to eat.
Most of the time I pop these in right before I get in the shower. I mean why not?
- Apples are sturdy creatures that don’t need your attention or help while cooking
- By using an air fryer you don’t have to worry about them burning if you forget to go right back to them (my Simple Living Products Air Fryer has a cool down cycle that prevents overcooking)
- You won’t forget them because the smell is Uh-Mazing!!
Baked Apples also freeze well. Ya’ll know I don’t meal prep to eat the same thing for a week but as a busy grandma, wife and business owner I am not opposed to prepping freezer meals for quick reheating. The Air Fryer Baked Apples were EXACTLY the same 30 days later from the freezer in my Meal Prep Haven containers and you can take them straight from the freezer to the microwave.
