The Stuffed Apples in the Air Fryer are excellent as a dessert, simple, light, and low in calories. Many delicious desserts can be made with apples, such as the Soft Apple Cake in the air fryer and my favorite Spoon Apple Cake. With this recipe, I want to offer you the classic homemade baked apple, in this case in the fryer, but with a tasty filling of amaretti and walnuts, the scent of lemon, and the unmistakable aroma of cinnamon. A combination that, together with honey, makes this simple apple a perfect spoon dessert for the end of a meal. For this stuffed apple recipe I used two types of honey, a teaspoon of orange honey, to add an extra citrus note, and millefiori, but you can use just one variety of honey. If you like orange and don’t have the honey, you can always add the grated peel to the mixture.
Now that I’ve told you everything…are you ready to go prepare the stuffed apples in the air fryer?!
