Cored and stuffed with a warmly spiced oat filling, these apples turn tender and jammy in the air fryer while their tops go golden and crisp. Cinnamon and nutmeg give the filling a cozy depth, and a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans adds a nice bit of crunch against the soft fruit. The air fryer does all the work here, concentrating the apples' natural sweetness in under 15 minutes with no oven required. Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala all hold their shape beautifully, so you get a tidy little dessert cup in every apple. Serve them warm on their own or dressed up with your favorite topping — either way, this is an easy one to fold into a vegan dessert rotation whenever a craving for something warm and spiced hits.

Core each apple from the top using a melon baller or sturdy spoon, removing the seeds and creating a cavity about 1 inch wide and 1 inch deep — leave the bottom of the apple intact so the filling stays in place.
In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans, if using.
