Ingredients

½ cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons toasted pecans chopped
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 apples

Instructions

Make the topping. Mix together oats, brown sugar, chopped pecans, melted butter, cinnamon and salt together in a small bowl.
Prep the apples. Cut each apple in half—you don't need to peel them—then use a melon baller or small spoon to scoop out the core and seeds. I also like to scoop out a little extra flesh to create a deeper cavity, which means you can pack in even more of the buttery oat filling. Divide the filling evenly among the four apple halves, pressing it in gently and using every last bit.
Air Fry. Place the prepared apple halves into the air fryer and air fry at 330°F for 13 to 15 minutes, until the topping is deep golden brown in color.
Serving. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream!

Notes

Best apples to use - Honeycrisp, Braeburn, Fuji, Jonagold, and Gala are excellent choices. Granny Smith apples are also ideal if you prefer a more tart contrast to the sweet oat filling. However, Red Delicious tend to become too soft and lose their shape when cooked.

Make it Gluten free - Use gluten-free certified oats.

Make it vegan - Use melted coconut oil instead of butter.
