AIR FRYER APPLE CRISP



Air Fryer Apple Crisp image

Nothing screams fall like warm apple crisp! You can use any variety of apples that you like, but I prefer a mixture of tart (Granny Smith or MacIntosh) and sweet (Honeycrisp or Fuji). Using your air fryer is perfect for a small portion! Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Air-Fryer Pumpkin Biscuits with Spiced Apple Butter image

A couple of years ago, one of my friend's parents made pumpkin biscuits for Thanksgiving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. These apples hold their shape well when baked and provide a nice contrast to the sweet filling.
  • Make sure the puff pastry is cold: Cold puff pastry is easier to work with and will puff up more in the oven. If the puff pastry is too warm, it will be difficult to roll out and will not rise as well.
  • Don't overfill the pastries: Overfilling the pastries will make them difficult to seal and will cause the filling to spill out during baking.
  • Bake the pastries until they are golden brown: The pastries are done baking when they are golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Overbaking the pastries will make them dry and tough.

Conclusion:

Air fryer apple danishes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for a special occasion or for a simple weekend treat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these delicious pastries right in your own home.
