Air Fryer Apple Crumble

Air Fryer Apple Crumble is a simple and delicious dessert that you can make quickly. It’s perfect for when you want something sweet and comforting without spending too much time in the kitchen.

Why Make This Recipe

This recipe is great because it’s easy to prepare and uses an air fryer, which makes cooking faster and more convenient. Plus, the combination of warm apples and crispy crumble is always a crowd-pleaser.

How to Make Air Fryer Apple Crumble

Ingredients:

2 large Bramley apples
250g plain flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
150g butter
75g brown sugar

Instructions:

Peel and chop the apples into small chunks and place them in an air fryer-safe baking tin. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of water over the top of them.
Air fry at 180°C for 15 minutes, or until the apple chunks soften.
While the apples are in the air fryer, make the crumble mixture. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and butter. Rub it together with your hands until it resembles breadcrumbs, then add the sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir it in well. You can also use a food processor, but be careful not to over-process; the crumble should have some texture.
When the apples are ready, add the crumble mixture on top.
Close the air fryer basket and continue to air fry at 180°C for another 10 minutes, checking to ensure it doesn’t burn. When the crumble is crispy and golden, it’s ready.
Enjoy your apple crumble with custard or ice cream.

How to Serve Air Fryer Apple Crumble

Serve the apple crumble warm, straight from the air fryer. It’s delicious on its own, but even better with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of custard on top.

How to Store Air Fryer Apple Crumble

If you have any leftovers, let the crumble cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, just pop it back in the air fryer for a few minutes until it’s warm and crispy again.

Tips to Make Air Fryer Apple Crumble

Make sure the crumble mixture isn’t too fine; it should have a nice, crumbly texture.
Keep an eye on the crumble in the air fryer so it doesn’t burn. Every air fryer is different, so cooking times may vary slightly.

Variation

You can add some oats to the crumble mixture for extra texture or mix in some raisins with the apples for a different twist.
