What are the best apples:

You will want to choose a baking apple. Some of that will not fall apart when baked. My favorites include:

Pink lady
Fuji
Granny Smith
Honeycrisp
Gala

How to make baked apples in the oven:

Preheat the oven to 375F.
Cut the apples and spoon out the core, sprinkle with cinnamon.
Make the crumble, spoon it over the apples, dividing it evenly.
Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet for easy clean up.
Bake at 375F for 25 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Storing leftovers

Store leftover air fryer apples in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can enjoy them cold or reheat in the microwave or air fryer (2-3 minutes at 350F).
