Ingredients

Apple Filling

3 apples chopped into ½-inch pieces (Granny Smith works great)
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon zest

Crisp Topping

½ cup oats
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

Chop the apples into bite-sized pieces, about ½ inch in size. Peel the apples first if desired. Add the chopped apples, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon zest to a medium bowl. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, stir together the oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Pour the melted butter over the oat mixture. Mix with a fork until crumbly and small clumps form.
Divide the apple mixture evenly between 4 small ramekins. You can also use one 6-inch round baking dish that fits inside your air fryer. Gently press down the apples so they're relatively compact.
Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apples. Leave the topping loose rather than packing it down.
Place the ramekins or baking dish in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F for 15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges.
Test an apple with a fork. If the apples are still too firm, continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from the air fryer and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

How to Store Air Fryer Apple Crisp

Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container or cover the individual ramekins with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 3-4 days.

Reheating: Reheat the apple crisp in the air fryer at 320°F for 3-4 minutes to help crisp the topping again. You can also microwave individual servings for 30-45 seconds, although the topping will be softer.

Freezer: Let the apple crisp cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Make ahead: Assemble the apple crisp and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before cooking. Since it will be cold when it goes into the air fryer, it may need an extra minute or two of cooking time.
