Why Use ZLINE's Air Fry Feature?

Before diving into the recipe, let's take a moment to talk about the magic behind air frying and why ZLINE's wall ovens take this method to the next level.

Benefits of Air-Fry

ZLINE's air fry feature offers several benefits over traditional convection baking, making it a versatile addition to any kitchen. Here’s why you might want to choose air frying over convection baking and when it can make a big difference:

Crispier Texture: Air frying uses powerful, high-speed convection to circulate hot air around the food, creating a crispy outer layer. This method is perfect for dishes like apple crisp, roasted veggies, or homemade fries that benefit from a crunchy texture.
Faster Cooking: The rapid circulation of hot air in air frying often reduces cooking times compared to standard convection baking. If you're in a hurry and want a quick, perfectly cooked meal, air frying is the way to go.
Healthier Cooking: Air frying can give foods a fried-like texture with little to no added oil. It’s an excellent choice for those looking to enjoy crispy foods without the added fats of traditional frying.
More Even Cooking: ZLINE's air fry technology provides uniform heat distribution, ensuring your food is cooked evenly on all sides. This is particularly useful for baking dishes like apple crisp, where an even cook is essential for the perfect consistency.

By integrating air fry into your cooking routine, you'll find it not only enhances your dishes but also simplifies your kitchen experience. The new ZLINE wall ovens with air fry technology allow you to explore new recipes like this delicious Apple Crips with ease!

Apple Crisp Recipe

Ingredients (Serves 2):

For the Apple Crisp:

- 1 medium Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced ½ inch thin

- 1 tsp lemon juice

- ½ tsp cinnamon

- 2 tbsp maple syrup

For the Topping:

- ¼ cup whole wheat flour

- 3 tbsp brown sugar, packed

- 2 tbsp rolled oats

- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

- 1 tsp cinnamon

- ½ tsp baking powder

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your ZLINE wall oven with air fry to 375°F. Lightly grease two small oven-safe ramekins to ensure an easy clean-up later.

2. Prepare the Apple Filling: In a medium bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice and ½ tsp of cinnamon. This combination not only enhances the flavor but also keeps the apples fresh and vibrant. Divide the apple mixture evenly into the two ramekins. Drizzle 1 tbsp of maple syrup over the apples in each ramekin, adding a touch of natural sweetness.

3. Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, brown sugar, oats, melted butter, 1 tsp cinnamon, and baking powder. Stir with a fork until the mixture forms a crumbly topping. Generously cover the apples in each ramekin with this topping.

4. Air Fry to Perfection: Carefully place the ramekins into the air fry basket of your ZLINE wall oven. Air fry at 375°F for 15-16 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crisp. The air fry feature ensures an evenly cooked dessert with that perfect crispy texture on top.

5. Cool and Serve: Once done, carefully remove the ramekins from the oven – they’ll be hot! Let them cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving. For an extra indulgent treat, serve with a scoop of your favorite ice cream.
