Apple Crisp Stuffed Dates
These apple crisp stuffed dates are the easiest fall dessert! Warm cinnamon apples are tucked inside sweet medjool dates, topped with an oat crisp, and air-fried until golden. They taste like a mini apple crisp in every bite!
Equipment
Ingredients
cinnamon apples
- 1 apple, peeled, cored, and finely diced
- ½ tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
crisp topping
- 4 tablespoons rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Sauté the apples: Add the diced apples, maple syrup, and cinnamon to a sauté pan over medium heat. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes, until soft and tender. If the apples are sticking to the pan, add a splash of water.
- Make the crisp topping: In a small bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond flour, chopped walnuts, sliced almonds, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Prepare the dates: Slice each date lengthwise (be careful not to cut all the way through), remove the pit, and gently open to create space for filling.
- Stuff the dates: Fill each date with the warm sautéed apples, then sprinkle with the crisp topping.
- Air fry: Place the stuffed dates in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 4-5 minutes, or until the topping is golden and crisp. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- Use medjool dates, which are soft, large, naturally sweet, and caramel-like. Other varieties (such as delget noor) tend to be smaller, less tender, and not as sweet.
- I love using Honeycrisp apples in this recipe for their sweetness, but any apple variety will work.
- Keep an eye on the air fryer, as they can go from golden to burnt very fast!
- No air fryer? Bake in the oven at 350°F for 8–10 minutes instead.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the air fryer or oven for 3-5 minutes to bring back that crispy topping. Or, enjoy them cold, they’re just as delicious!
