🍎 Air-Fried Maple-Pecan Stuffed Apples 🍁

An exquisite autumn-inspired dessert that brilliantly demonstrates how convection roasting can tenderize fruit while intensifying its natural sugars. By hollowing out crisp apples and packing the center with a buttery, maple-infused pecan and oat crumble, you create a beautiful self-contained dessert vessel. The air fryer perfectly bakes the oat filling into a golden, nutty crust while transforming the apple walls into a soft, sweet, and juicy luxury.
