Air Fryer Apple Crisp (Individual Servings)
Description
The recipe combines diced apples that are spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, balanced with lemon juice and sweetened lightly with maple syrup. The topping mixes rolled oats, chopped nuts, cinnamon, flour, and melted butter or coconut oil with more maple syrup to create a crumbly crust. Portions are prepared in small ramekins for individualized servings and cooked covered in the air fryer, which softens the apples and crisps the topping.
Uncovering the crisps for a few minutes at the end of cooking intensifies the crunch of the oat topping. This method produces a dessert that highlights the texture of softened tart apples beneath a spiced, buttery oat crust. The recipe suggests pairing with ice cream, whipped cream, or yogurt as desired and provides modifications for gluten-free and dairy-free diets.
Instructions for oven baking and detailed storage advice are included, with tips for freezing assembled crisps without topping and reheating. Serving suggestions note garnishing with extra nuts or apple slices for presentation. The individual portions allow for flexible serving sizes and make an easy-to-reheat dessert option.
