If you're a foodie at heart like I am, you find a way to make your favorite desserts a little bit healthier. I am always experimenting in the kitchen trying to test out healthier swaps. This was a recipe that took a couple times to get it right for me. If you have apples that you need to use up- this is the perfect recipe to try.
It can be made in an air fryer in about twenty five minutes at 325°F. You would need a deep air fryer with a rack like the ninja one that I will link in the recipe card. You could also bake at 350°F in a regular oven for about double the time. It's done when the apples are soft and the top is golden brown and crispy.
