Ingredients
2 cups cooking apples, peeled and cubed
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
0.3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
0.5 cup milk
1 large egg
Instructions
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small, bite-sized cubes.
Toss the apple cubes in a bowl with half of the cinnamon.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and the remaining cinnamon.
Stir in the milk and egg until a thick, uniform batter forms.
Fold the apple chunks into the batter so they are evenly coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for three minutes.
Place parchment paper in the air fryer basket.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the parchment paper.
Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
Notes
Keep the apple chunks small to ensure even cooking with the batter. Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples work best for a balanced texture. You can substitute almond or soy milk, and flax seeds can replace the egg for a vegan option.
