Why this recipe works
Warm cinnamon apples with crispy oats topping
Cinnamon apples are particularly good in a small baking pan in the air fryer: the fruit juice is preserved and sugar cannot drop into the basket. The topping is only distributed after half the cooking time, so that nuts and oatmeal roast without becoming dark.

Kitchen know-how
Tips for Air Fryer Cinnamon Apples
Add topping later
Walnuts and oatmeal roast faster than the apples become soft. By the later addition they do not burn.
Keep juice in baking pan
A closed baking pan picks up fruit juice and syrup. Directly in the perforated basket, both would drip for heating.
Variations
How to adapt this recipe
Replace two apples with solid pears. Cut the pear splits a little thicker so that they do not crumble before the apples.
Replace walnuts with 25 g pumpkin or sunflower seeds. Check the suitability of all the products used for allergies.
