Air Fryer Apple Crumble

Preparing the Apple Filling

1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are well coated.
2. Transfer to Baking Dish: Transfer the apple mixture to a baking dish that fits in your air fryer.

Making the Crumble Topping

3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
4. Add Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Assembling the Crumble

5. Top Apples: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish.

Air Frying

6. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
7. Cook Crumble: Place the baking dish in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. Check the crumble halfway through cooking and cover it with foil if the topping is browning too quickly.

Serving

8. Cool Slightly: Allow the apple crumble to cool for a few minutes before serving.
9. Serve: Serve the Air Fryer Apple Crumble warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
