Add the oats, pecans, brown sugar, butter, flour, cinnamon, and salt to a medium bowl and mix to combine.
- Divide filling between apples
Divide the oat mixture between the apples, lightly packing it in where you scooped out the apple core.

Common Questions
Firm apples that hold their shape during cooking are best. Varieties like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, Fuji, or Jonagold work well. These apples are also flavorful and have a good balance of sweetness and tartness.
Peeling is optional. Leaving the skin on helps the apples hold their shape, but you can peel them if you prefer a softer texture. If you like the rustic look and added fiber, keep the skins on.
Air fryer baked apples are delicious on their own or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or a dollop of whipped cream. You can also pair them with a side of granola or yogurt for a breakfast option.
Store leftover baked apples in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the air fryer or microwave before serving.
