This cozy treat is easy to customize, add in chopped pecans along with the apples to make a delicious apple and pecan topping, pairing perfectly with frozen yogurt.
Additional honey or maple syrup can be used to increase the sweetness. Honey can be used in place of maple syrup if preferred.
We leave the skin on the apples; however, these can be completely peeled if you prefer too.
Remember to leave room around the apples in the air fryer so that the air circulates. If the apples look dry, add a light coat of grapeseed oil spray.
