This easy Ninja Foodi Apple Crisp is a one-pot dessert that is perfect for fall! Granny Smith apples are peeled, sliced, and cooked with lemon juice and sugar before being topped with an oat and flour topping. We then cook the topping to crispy perfection right in the Foodi. Serve warm with ice cream and caramel sauce for a delicious treat!

Ingredient Notes
- Butter: I recommend always using unsalted butter in baking. Because salt levels can vary widely in salted butter, this is the easiest way to control the salt.
- Apples: Granny Smith Apples are my favorite for apple crisps, but you can use any type of apples you like. I prefer to peel and slice my apples, but you can certainly buy pre-sliced apples to make things easier.
Topping:
- Oats: Rolled oats are the traditional choice for apple crisp toppings. I don’t recommend using quick oats for the streusel topping because the texture of the topping for your Ninja Foodi apple crumble will be too soft.
- Flour: All-purpose flour is what I always use in my crisp toppings, but you could also use whole wheat flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
- Brown Sugar: Light brown sugar is my preference in this recipe, but you can use dark brown sugar if that is what you have on hand.
A Few Things to Remember
One thing I want to call out. This is my favorite Ninja Foodi dessert, because it uses the Bake/Roast function on the Foodi. Make sure you don't use pressure.
Ninja keeps putting out new models, and they have discontinued the original Foodi (which I'm sad about), so your buttons might not match mine exactly. If you want to make this in your Ninja Possible cooker, use the bake setting. (The same temperature.)
Don't have a Ninja? Bake it in any oven-safe dish at 375 until the apples are tender and the top is golden.
Tips & Tricks
- Peel and slice the apples ahead of time: One of the most time-consuming parts of this Ninja Foodi apple crumble recipe is peeling and slicing the apples. If you are short on time, you can do this part ahead of time and store the apples in a bowl of cold water with a little lemon juice until you are ready to use them.
- Don’t overmix the topping: Be careful not to overmix the topping ingredients. You want there to be some chunks of butter remaining for a nice, crisp texture.
- Serve with ice cream and caramel sauce: Serve this Ninja Foodi Apple Crisp warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce. Yum!

How to Make
First, start by preheating your Ninja Foodi on the medium saute setting. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pot.
While the Foodi is preheating and the butter is melting, add the apples, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Stir to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Hit cancel.
While the apples sauté, combine the oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
Next, add the butter, and use clean fingers to incorporate it. Scatter the crumble topping over the apples.
Close the lid and move the slider to AIR FRY/STOVETOP, then use the dial to select BAKE/ROAST. Use the up and down arrows and set the temperature to 325°F.
Set the cook time for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, carefully open the lid and check on the crisp.
Once the crisp is done, allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce.
