We’ve elevated baked apples to a whole new level by stuffing Joya® apples with a sweet mix of dates, cranberries, and a hint of orange zest, then cooking them to perfection in the air fryer. Joya® apples are known for their perfect balance of sweetness and tang, with a crisp texture that holds up beautifully when baked. These apples retain their shape, and the filling creates a contrast of flavours. Served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, this simple yet indulgent dessert is the perfect way to end any meal.
