Air Fryer Apple Oat Crumble

Ingredients

• 2 apples, chopped
• ½ cup oats
• 3 tbsp sugar or honey (or 4 chopped dates)
• 2 tbsp butter
• ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
• 2 tbsp chopped nuts (optional)
• 2 tbsp flour (optional)

Steps

1. Peel (if you like) and chop the apples into even, bite-size pieces so they all cook down at the same rate.
2. Toss the chopped apples in a bowl with the cinnamon and half the sugar or honey until every piece is evenly coated.
3. Tip the coated apples into a small oven-safe dish, spreading them into an even layer.
4. In a separate bowl, rub the cold butter into the oats, flour, chopped nuts and remaining sweetener with your fingertips until it turns into coarse, pea-sized crumbs rather than a paste.
5. Scatter the crumb mixture evenly over the apples, leaving a few small gaps here and there so steam can escape instead of turning the topping soggy.
6. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C.
7. Place the dish in the basket and air fry for 10 minutes.
8. Check the topping — if it's browning faster than the apples are softening, lay a small piece of foil loosely over the top.
9. Continue air frying for the remaining 4 minutes, until the crumble is bubbling at the edges and golden on top.
10. Let it sit for a minute or two before serving so the bubbling juices settle.

Tip: Serve warm with yogurt or ice cream.
