Ingredients:

2 Honeycrisp apples

1/2 cup oats

Cinnamon (to taste)

1/4 cup maple syrup

Whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Apples:
    Wash, core, and slice the Honeycrisp apples into thin wedges. Place them in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with cinnamon for a warm, spiced flavor.
  2. Make the Oat Topping:
    In another bowl, mix the oats with a touch of cinnamon and the maple syrup. Stir until the oats are well coated and slightly sticky.
  3. Layer the Crisp:
    Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the apple slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket or dish. Evenly spread the oat mixture over the top of the apples, ensuring a crunchy topping in every bite.
  4. Air Fry:
    Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the oats are golden brown. Check halfway through to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:
    Remove the crisp from the air fryer and let it cool slightly. Top with whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence and serve warm.
