Steps
Wash the apples and, if you prefer, peel them. Gently remove the core with a corer or a small knife, leaving the bottom intact to hold the filling. Slightly widen the cavity with the back of a teaspoon.
In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the honey. Add the chopped walnuts, almonds, cinnamon, and the drained and patted raisins. Mix until you get a creamy and fragrant mixture.With a teaspoon, fill the apple cavities with the mixture, pressing slightly. If you have some filling left, you can serve it on the side or enjoy it as is!
Place the stuffed apples in the air fryer basket. Cook at 356°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until the apples are soft and golden on the surface.
Once cooked, let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Storage
You can store the stuffed baked apples in the fridge for up to 1 day, in an airtight container. Before enjoying, heat them for a few minutes in the air fryer or microwave to regain all their aroma.
Tips
Add a pinch of ginger to the filling for a spicy touch.
For an even more indulgent dessert, top with a piece of dark chocolate.
