Ingredients

• 1 Medium apple, cored
• 1 tsp. Cinnamon
• 2 tbsp. Granola We like Purely Elizabeth's
• 1/4 Cup Non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt

Equipment

• Air fryer
• Knife and cutting board
• Small mixing bowl
• Mixing spoon or spatula
• Pait of tongs

Instructions

1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C).

2. Core the apple: Use an apple corer or a small knife to

   remove the core and seeds from the center of the apple,

   creating a hollow cavity. Make sure not to cut through the

   bottom of the apple.

3. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar-free maple

   syrup together.

4. Brush or drizzle the cinnamon maple mixture over the

   inside and outside of the apple, making sure it's evenly

   coated.

5. Place the coated apple in the preheated air fryer basket.

6. Air fry the apple at 350°F (180°C) for 10-12 minutes or

   until it becomes tender and slightly caramelized. Cooking

   time may vary depending on the size and type of apple, so

   keep an eye on it.

7. Carefully remove the baked apple from the air fryer using

   tongs or a spatula.

8. While the apple is still warm, dollop greek yogurt into the

   apple and sprinkle the granola over the top, allowing it to

   stick to the maple coating.

9. Enjoy your warm, delicious Air Fryer Maple Cinnamon

   Baked Apple as a healthy dessert or snack!
