10-minute Air Fryer Recipe - Granola Apple Crisp

Got an air fryer? Got 10 minutes? Got an apple? Then you have to try this recipe next time you’re craving something sweet. This single serving recipe transforms an ordinary apple into a warm, cinnamon-infused dessert that feels both comforting and gourmet. You can pair it with Greek yogurt, sour cream or vanilla ice cream depending on your mood, and sprinkle with your favorite kind of granola. We love Tina’s Hungry Bird Eats nut-free granolas, but any granola (especially the ones with cinnamon or gingerbread flavor) will do.

Don’t have an air fryer? No worries! You can easily prepare this dessert in your oven. Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190 degrees Celsius) and bake the apples in an oven-safe dish for about 15-20 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Got an air fryer? Then you have to try this recipe next time you’re craving something sweet. With its effortless preparation and minimal list of ingredients, this single serving recipe transforms ordinary apples into a warm, cinnamon-infused dessert that feels both comforting and gourmet. You can pair it with Greek yogurt, sour cream or vanilla ice cream depending on your mood, and sprinkle with your favorite kind of granola.

Ingredients

  • 1 1 apple

  • 1 tablespoon 1 butter

  • 1 teaspoon 1 brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon 1 maple syrup

  • ½ teaspoon ½ vanilla extract

  • ½ teaspoon ½ ground cinnamon

  • A pinch of salt

  • 3 tablespoons 3 granola

  • Greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream

Directions

  • Start by preheating your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). This should take a few minutes, so while it’s heating up, you can prepare the apple mixture.
  • Peel the apple and cut it into bite-sized squares.
  • Melt the butter in a small pot over low heat. Stir in syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt.
  • Toss the diced apple in the butter mixture. Make sure the apples are evenly coated.
  • Place the coated apple pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Try to avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
  • Cook the apples in the preheated air fryer at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time (around 5 minutes), gently shake or flip the apples to promote even cooking.
  • When the apples are done cooking, remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a small plate or a bowl. Sprinkle the granola over the cooked apples and serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt, sour cream or vanilla ice cream.

Recipe: Spaghetti with Olive Tapenade and Anchovy

Recipe: Pantry Pasta with Olive Tapenade and Anchovy

Whenever I’m in the mood for something quick and delicious, this pasta dish comes to mind. It’s incredibly simple, and once the pasta is done, the meal is ready in just a few minutes.

This recipe has become one of my staples over time, and I’m sure it could be one of yours too, because if you’re like me and always have anchovies, pasta, olive tapenade, garlic, and cheese in your pantry, you’re only 10 minutes away from a tasty dinner.

Notes

I use the olive tapenade from Spread-mmms, because the intense flavor goes very well with pasta. Furthermore, it comes with a little kick, which I really like.

When it comes to anchovies, it’s all about personal preference—coarsely chopped or fully mashed. I’m a blig fan of anchovies and I don’t mind larger chunks. The best kind for this dish are the flat, salted ones, darker and often sold in small jars or tins. The gourmet Cantabrian anchovies from Siesta are perfect for this dish.

Regarding pasta, I find that spaghetti works best for this recipe as it evenly distributes the cheese, but other pasta types can also be used.

Regarding cheese, most hard Italian varieties will do, but my top picks are Parmesan or Grana Padano.

You can also mix in a teaspoon of lemon juice with the pasta and other ingredients, and garnish with finely grated lemon zest. A sprinkle of chili flakes adds a nice touch of heat.

Whenever I’m in the mood for something quick and delicious, this pasta dish comes to mind. It’s incredibly simple, and once the pasta is done, the meal is ready in just a few minutes.

Ingredients

  • Spaghetti

  • ¼ cup ¼ olive oil

  • 2 cloves 2 garlic

  • 6 6 anchovy fillets

  • ½ cup ½ parmesan cheese

  • 1 tea spoon 1 olive tapenade

  • 1 teaspoon 1 finely chopped parsley for garnish

Directions

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions, but one minute less to avoid overcooking.
  • While the spaghetti is cooking, crush the garlic by placing the peeled garlic clove on a cutting board. Lay the flat side of a wide-bladed kitchen knife over the clove and press down firmly with the palm of your hand until the garlic is crushed.
  • Drain the spaghetti, but save a bit of pasta water in a cup.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic cloves and sauté until golden, but not browned, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the anchovy oil mixture. Toss to coat the pasta evenly.
  • Add the olive tapenade, grated Parmesan cheese, and a few tablespoons of the pasta water to help create a silky sauce. Toss well to combine.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Be careful with the salt, as the anchovies and tapenade are already salty.
  • Divide the pasta between two plates. Garnish with finely chopped parsley and extra grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately.

Dumplings with Mama Teav’s Hot Garlic Chili Crisp

10-minute meal: Dumplings with Chili Crisp

Looking for a quick and tasty lunch or dinner? Here’s a great idea: Cook some of your favorite frozen dumplings. Drizzle with chopped scallions and Mama Teav’s Hot Garlic Chili Crisp. Done!

You have the option to pan-fry, steam, or boil the dumplings. While adhering to the instructions on the packaging is recommended, here are some general tips for preparation:

Boiling the dumplings: Bring water to a boil, add the dumplings, and cook until they rise to the surface and are thoroughly cooked.

Pan-frying the dumplings: This method yields a crispy base. Heat oil in a pan, arrange the dumplings, add a splash of water, and cover to steam. Once the water evaporates, allow the dumplings to fry until the bottoms turn golden. Ensure the pan is sufficiently hot before adding the dumplings to prevent sticking.

Steaming the dumplings: Utilize a steamer or makeshift steamer (a pot of boiling water with a colander on top, covered) to steam the dumplings until fully cooked.

About chili crisp

Chili crisp is a savory, spicy condiment renowned for its distinctive flavor and adaptability. Originating from Asian cuisines, it has garnered global popularity. Typically crafted from oil-infused chili peppers and crispy fried garlic, along with an array of aromatic spices, it delivers a richly flavored oil with crunchy textures and a heat spectrum ranging from mild to intense. Chili crisp is readily available in Asian supermarkets or online, with various brands offering diverse spice levels, ingredients, and flavor profiles.

You can either drizzle chili crisp over the cooked dumplings or utilize it as a dipping sauce. Some people blend it with soy sauce or vinegar to harmonize the flavors. One of my favorites is Mama Teav’s Hot Garlic Chili Crisp for its exceptional flavor straight from the jar. Alternatively, if chili crisp isn’t your preference, Karma Sauce Cosmic Dumpling Hot Sauce is another favored option. Both deliver heat without overwhelming, ideal for those with a moderate spice tolerance like mine.
