🥄 Variations

- You can use any type of oil or butter in the crumble topping, such as coconut oil, vegan margarine, or ghee.
- If you are looking for a lower-sugar option, try substituting ½ cup maple syrup instead of ¾ cup granulated sugar. You can also use a sugar substitute.
- Make it gluten-free by using a one-to-one gluten-free flour.
- Try substituting the apples for a combination of fresh fruit such as peaches, pears, cherries, or berries. Make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly. You may need to add more sweeteners and/or spices based on the sweetness of your fruit.
- You can make this recipe vegan by substituting the butter in the crumb topping with a vegan alternative, such as coconut oil or vegan margarine.

🍶 Storing
To store the apple crisp on the counter, place it in an air-tight container and leave it out 2 days tops on your counter.
Refrigerator Storage: To store the apple crisp in the fridge, place it in an air-tight container and it will last up to five days in the fridge.
Freezer Storage: You can freeze the crisp for up to 3 months. Place it in an airtight container, such as a freezer bag or a Tupperware container with a lid. Thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating in the air fryer or in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes.
To Reheat: Place it on a microwave plate or in a bowl, and microwave for just 15 – 20 seconds.
💭Top Tips
- Make sure to use baking apples. I used Fuji and granny smith but you can also use Honeycrisp, Braeburn, or Jonagold.
- Since air fryer temperatures vary, just like ovens, if the air fryer apple crisps are starting to burn decrease the temperature.
- Don’t forget to spray your ramekins with non-stick cooking spray before adding the apple crisp mixture. This will help prevent sticking.
