Baked Apples

Th is Baked Apples Recipe is quite possibly the best way to enjoy apples! They’re deliciously sweet, tangy, and very easy to make. A few different variations will make this your go-to way to make baked apples in your air fryer or oven.

What Makes Baked Apples So Amazing

Fast. Ready in less than 30 minutes with the help of your air fryer .
Easy. Core and cut the apples, add a brushing of butter or coconut oil, and air fry .
Vegetarian . A great meat-free snack for the whole family.
Versatile. Top these baked apples with your favorite toppings to fit your preferred dietary considerations.

I think that apples are best enjoyed without a ton of unnecessary ingredients and extensive preparation. That’s exactly why these Baked Apples are just so good !

These Baked Apples are apple deliciousness in their purest form. It’s just apples, oil or butter, sugar, and apple pie spice, and it’s done in no time with very little effort needed. Simplicity and deliciousness all in one dish, which is arguably my favorite type of dish.

Not only is it generally easy to make, but with a little help from your air fryer it cooks quickly and comes out with a slight crisp.

The same crisp can be achieved in the oven, but not as quickly and conveniently as when you cook them in an air fryer. These Baked Apples are just another fantastic example of why I love my air fryer so much.

I know most people don’t think of using their air fryers for dessert, but they actually do make great desserts. If you look up my Every Day Easy Air Fryer cookbook, or my Air Fryer Revolution Cookbook, you will see I have lots of air fryer dessert recipes in them.

Here’s an easy German Rouladen recipe, but with a twist. Use your air fryer to get a crispy flank steak roll, with all of the flavors of a classic rouladen, but not the hours-long braise times.

I know I make a lot of recipes from all over the world. I feel like the best way to live, is to experience all the good that the world has to offer us–and food is definitely part of the good that the world offers us.

I may deviate while cooking these recipes and not always go the traditional route, as I did with this German Rouladen , however, the concept of the recipe is still the same even if the way I go about it is a little different than what tradition calls for.

I love knowing where food comes from and how it was created in the first place. Sometimes, knowing the origin of the food will help you understand even more about why or how the recipe is made the way the way it is. This German Rouladen is a delicious dish that’s a must-try. Especially if you enjoy trying deviations from traditional recipes.

Why You’ll Love This German Rouladen

Fast. Make this rouladen recipe in under 30 minutes with the help of your air fryer .
Easy. Make the sauce, prepare the rouladen, air fry, and serve!
Low Carb . Only 8 net carbs per serving.
Flavorful. Between the bacon and the delicious sauce, your tastebuds will be singing for joy.

I mean, beef, bacon, and other yummies rolled up into a cute little package—how could you resist?

What Makes This Recipe So Easy?

A typical rouladen involves a long, slow braise. This version gives you an entirely new dish, albeit with the same ingredients. It’s a great example of how you can change the taste of foods entirely, just by changing how you cook them.

There is no braising in my recipe. It’s all air fried and cooked quickly. Given that, I am sure some of you will question whether I should even legitimately call this a rouladen, much less a German Rouladen. But yes. I think I will, just because it’s at least a name and a concept that’s familiar to many of us.

I like to make things easy for all of us. So unlike traditional recipes, I also don’t pound that meat at all for this German Rouladen.

What Is Rouladen?

The word “rouladen” is just French for “to roll.” In other words, German Rouladen literally translates into German roll.

The origin of this dish is unknown but, it’s always used a cheaper slice of beef and included onions, bacon, mustard, and pickles-almost like steak roll sandwich.

However, I have adjusted mine to a different version, so not all of these ingredients are used but, it still tastes absolutely delicious and I think you’ll love it.

What Cut Of Meat Is A Rouladen?

Traditionally you would use thin slices of top round roast. Since I use flank steak for many of my other recipes, I tend to keep it in my refrigerator. So, for my rendition of German rouladen I used flank steak.

Ingredients You’ll Need

While this list of ingredients may seem daunting at first glance, most of them are kitchen staples. Even if you have to run out and grab a few extra things to make this dish, I guarantee the flavor will make up for any inconvenience this may be.

For the Sauce

Oil
Onion
Sour cream
Tomato Paste
Dill Pickles
Chopped Parsley

For the Steak

Flank steak
Dijon mustard
Ground Black Pepper
Bacon
Chopped Parsley

How To Make Rouladen

Mix together sliced onions, salt, and pepper.
Cook the onions in the air fryer.
Once the onions are cooked, set aside half of them to use in the steak roll. Put the rest of the onions in a bowl and mix them with the sour cream, tomato paste, chopped pickles, and parsley. Use water to thin the sauce if desired.
Spread the mustard on the meat. Layer on the bacon slices, remaining grilled onion, and parsley. Sprinkle with some ground pepper.
Roll up the steak as tightly as you can, ending seam side down. Cut the roll in half so it fits into your air fryer basket.
Cook the rolled steak in your air fryer until it has reached an internal temperature of 145°F.
Serve with sauce and enjoy!

What Do You Serve With Rouladen?

When trying to find something to serve with this rouladen recipe, your possibilities are virtually endless. It’s a flavorful protein that pairs well with so many things. Here are a few of my favorite things to serve with it:

Keto Broccoli Salad
Air Fryer Baked Potatoes
Air Fryer Corn On The Cob
Cheesy Potatoes
Roasted Ratatouille

How Long Does It Last?

If this seems like a large meal for the number of people you have to feed, don’t worry! This rouladen recipe reheats easily without sacrificing flavor or texture.

For best results reheat any leftovers in the air fryer within 3-5 days.
