When fall rolls around, all I want are apple desserts (sorry, pumpkin). While I love a classic apple pie, I also love finding new and unique ways to enjoy the warming, spiced flavor in a different form. My newest obsession is all thanks to the air fryer—apple pie baked apples. They have all the elements of a classic apple pie (including a lattice crust!), but in a single-serving package. Plus, they come together in 30 minutes, making them an easy, quick alternative when you need apple pie flavors in a fraction of the time.
Pink Lady apples are recommended here, but if you can’t find them, another type of apple for baking like Jonagold, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn will do. If you don’t feel like dealing with a lattice crust, just top each apple with a round piece of dough (that has a few slits cut in it to let the steam escape).
Serve with caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent upgrade, or make this breakfast-y and serve with a spoonful of Greek yogurt. The best part about these mini baked pies is that they can be a breakfast, snack, and dessert—the possibilities are endless!
