1. Cut the tops off the apples and set aside, then core the apples.
2. Mix the dates, cranberries, orange zest, cinnamon and butter. Fill the apples with this mixture, then drizzle over the maple syrup and sprinkle with the sugar. Top the apples with their lids.
3. Cook in the air-fryer for 20–25 minutes at 180°C, or in the oven for 25–30 minutes.
4. Serve warm with the chopped almonds and ice cream.
