- Stuff 'Em: Pack that goodness in tight, pile extra on top.
- Air Fry: Heat fryer to 350°F. Plop apples cut-side up (parchment if you're smart). Fry 12-15 mins till skins wrinkle and fork slide easily.
- Serve: Let cool a sec, then yogurt, ice cream, or syrup it up. Heaven.
Notes
- Done Check: Fork glides in smoothly? Perfect. Stubborn? Two more mins.
- Vegan/Gluten-Free: Coconut oil + GF oats = no problem.
- Storage: Fridge for 2-4 days. Re-fry at 350°F for 5 mins to crisp up.
- Tips: One layer only, or it's chaos. Sugar-free? Honey or stevia. Skins split? No sweat, drown in toppings.
