Great with vegan vanilla ice cream!
1 large or 2 small apples
2 t lemon juice
3 T whole almonds, with skins
3 T quick oats
3 T maple syrup
1 T water
2 t walnut oil or peanut oil
1/8 t salt
1/2 t cinnamon
- Slice apples, then cut into 1-inch pieces. No need to peel. Place in large bowl and toss with lemon juice.
- Put almonds in blender (for Vitamix turn speed to 8/10). Turn on for 2 sec. Almonds should be mixture of small pieces and powder. Don’t let them become all powder. A few big pieces are fine.
- Add almonds and remaining ingredients to apples. Toss using two spatulas until apples are coated evenly. Let sit for 10 min to allow oats to hydrate.
- Remove rack from air fryer and preheat at 400°F for 3 min.
- Dump apples on bottom of air fryer and spread out evenly with spatula. Scrape out any remaining coating in bowl on top of apples.
- Cook at 375°F for 12 min. Scrape out crisp with spatula and serve.
Notes
- I like Kanzi or Envy apples for this recipe. These new varieties are very crisp and maintain their firmness after cooking. Granny Smith apples are a good standby — or a mixture of Granny Smith and Macintosh — the Macintosh will become mush but what great flavor!
- Don’t cook more than this amount at one time. If you want to double, etc., the recipe, cook in batches, 1 large apple amount at a time, and wash (ha!) air fryer between batches.
