Apple, Apples, Apples

Two weekends ago we spent a lovely weekend picking apples. It is such a fun activity, until you realized you picked apples for an entire year! You get creative and look for a few fast shortcuts. This air fryer baked apple recipe fits the bill. Easy, fast and delicious.

Usual Cast of Characters

Baked Apples

3 Apples Gala, Honeycrisp or Pink Lady work great

1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter Melted

½ Tsp Cinnamon 

Honey Oat Topping

½ Cup Old Fashioned Oats

1 ½ tablespoon Unsalted Butter Melted

 1 tablespoon Honey

2 teaspoon All Purpose Flour

½ teaspoon Cinnamon

1 Pinch Nutmeg

1 Pinch Sea Salt

½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract

INSTRUCTIONS 

  • Begin by preheating your air fryer. While the air fryer is preheating, prepare the apples and topping. Add all the topping ingredients to a small prep bowl and stir to combine. Make sure to distribute the honey well so all the oats are coated. Set aside.
  • Combine the melted butter and cinnamon in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • Slice the apple in half through the core. Use a knife or spoon to remove the seeds and core from the center of each apple half. Be carful not to cut too deep and break the apple. Brush each apple half with the melted butter combination.
  • Spray the basket of your preheated air fryer with cooking spray and carefully place each apple in. Depending on the size of your air fryer you may need to cook in several batches. Close the lid and press START, then AIR CRISP and set the TEMP to 350 degrees F using the arrows. Next, set the TIME to 15 Minutes then press START. 
  • After 15 minutes check the apples, they should be soft and the oat topping should be browned. Once they are finished remove the apples with tongs and enjoy warm with additional honey, vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!

Chill in the Air

Last week I started my car to warm it up before I left for school. All of a sudden fall was in the air. You could feel it, smell it, hear it and taste it. Somehow summer gave way to crisp fall. Summer fought a good battle but eventually it gave in. I love fall. It was so nice to put on a sweater, enjoy some fresh picked apples and hear and feel the heater click on in the middle of the night. I wanted our bedroom to reflect this change so I added some fall touches…I think it looks quite festive.

Our cuddly fall quilt.
A great place to relax with a book.

I love the rich colors of fall.

A great reminder
Apple picking is a family tradition.

Fall, Leaves, Fall

By Emily Brontë

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;


Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.


I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;


I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.

A brighter day with Bubble Tea
