Method
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C.
In a bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, melted butter and maple syrup until evenly coated.
Divide the apple mixture between six ovenproof ramekins.
Rub the cold butter into the flour until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Stir in the oats, brown sugar, chopped pecans, cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt until evenly combined.
Spoon the crumble mixture generously over the apples without pressing it down.
Place the ramekins into the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 14–16 minutes, until the crumble is deeply golden and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges.
Mix together the melted butter and maple syrup.
Brush or drizzle the maple butter lightly over the hot crumble topping as soon as it comes out of the fryer.
Leave to stand for 3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, hot custard or plenty of salted caramel sauce.
