This is the apple pie for the cook who struggles with pastry! The only pastry in this recipe sits on top of the apple so you are never left with a soggy crust. Being able to hand each of your guests their own personal apple for dessert is sort of fun too.

¼teaspoonground ginger
1teaspoonground cinnamon
pinchof nutmeg
2tablespoonsbuttercut into 4 slices
2ready-made pie doughor your homemade recipe (enough for 2 9-inch crusts)
1eggbeaten
coarse sanding sugar
Instructions
Cut off the top of the Granny Smith apples. Use a paring knife to cut around the inside edge of the apple, leaving a ¼-inch border of apple next to the skin. Scoop out the inside of the apple with a spoon and set aside. Discard the core and seeds. Squeeze lemon juice on the inside of the apples.
Pre-heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and sauté the apple pulp along with the diced apples, sugar, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg for 2 to 3 minutes.
Fill the apples shells with the sautéed apple mixture.
Cut the pie dough into 16 (1¼ -inch x 4½-inch) strips. Lay 2 strips across the top of each apple. Interweave the other 2 strips in the opposite direction over the apple. Brush the dough strips with a little beaten egg and sprinkle the sanding sugar over top.
Pre-heat the air fryer to 350ºF.
Place the apples in the air fryer basket. Air-fry at 350ºF for 10 to 12 minutes (depending on the size of your apples), until the crust is nicely brown and the apples have softened slightly. Serve with a scoop of ice cream on the side or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
