This air fried stuffed apple recipe is so simple and baking them in the air fryer means they will be golden brown and crispy in about half the time that it would take in a conventional oven which means you’re saving both time and money and can enjoy a delicious treat in no time at all. I adore this recipe for its simplicity, there may only be three ingredients but that doesn’t mean that your air fried apples stuffed with strawberries won’t deliver on flavour.
The simplicity and ease of this recipe makes it a stand out choice and one that you can return to time and time again. You can use any type of baking apple that will hold together whilst it cooks and not break down and fall apart. I find that Granny Smith apples are best for this dish but Golden Delicious apples also work well. As this recipe is incredibly fast, but still delicious, you can return back to it multiple times and try out different apples to find your favourite and even change up your ‘stuffing’ fruit, once you have built up your confidence, to see what pairings you love.
Ingredients
2 baking apples
Strawberries
Maple syrup
Method
I started by cutting the top off my apples and scooped out some of the inside. Chop your strawberries into chunks and stuff then into your hollowed out apple. Set your air fryer to 160c and place your apples in and cook for around 15 to 20 minutes. Check half way through the cooking time and if they are browning too quickly just place some tin foil over the top of your stuffed apples.
Remove your baked apples from the air fryer and allow to cool slightly before serving.
I serve my air fried stuffed apple with drizzle of maple syrup but you could use a variety of toppings.
Not only is this air fried apple stuffed with strawberries a delicious recipe to try but it is also a great addition to support your overall health and wellbeing (when enjoyed sensibly), apples are rich in dietary fibre, vitamin C, and various antioxidants.

They are a sodium-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free, low-calorie food that is among the top 20 fruits in antioxidant capacity.
