Air Fryer Apple, Pear and Raspberry Crumble

Use the right dish

A 7-inch (18 cm) round heatproof baking dish should fit most 6 qt baskets. Too large and the topping will not brown evenly.

Cook fruit first

Apples and pears need about 15 minutes before the topping goes on. Stir once or twice so they soften evenly.

Add raspberries last

Fresh raspberries go in after the apple and pear base cooks so they hold their shape.

Crowding. One dish at a time. The fruit stage and topping stage use the same temperature but different times.

Basket liner (optional). Air fryer paper basket liners are optional. They catch drips and make cleanup easier. Use the molded type that fits your basket; air flows around the sides. Never cover the whole basket floor with solid foil.

Kitchen tips

Use whatever fruit is in season. Plums and blackberries swap well.
Add a little extra sugar to the fruit if you prefer a sweeter filling.
Fruit filling and topping can be made ahead and frozen separately.
Use GF flour and check amaretti labels for a gluten-free version.
