The apple and almond cookies in the air fryer are quick treats to prepare for breakfast or the whole family’s snack.
A few ingredients make tasty cookies scented with cinnamon — a healthy snack to offer your children for school breaks as an alternative to industrial packaged snacks full of preservatives.
The combination of ingredients is perfect: with every bite you’ll notice small pieces of fruit and the crunch of almond bits — in their simplicity they’re hard to resist!
You can indulge without guilt because they are made without oil or butter, and I replaced sugar with erythritol, a natural zero-calorie sweetener. If you want to buy it just click here.

I recommend the air fryer I recently purchased, which I find easy to use and functional. You can cook two dishes at the same time thanks to a divider, saving time and electricity — which is not insignificant!

Steps
Before starting the dough, peel the apple and cut it into very small pieces, adding a few drops of lemon.
In a bowl pour the erythritol and the eggs and whisk by hand.
Add the flour mixed with the baking powder little by little.
Fold in the apple pieces and the chopped almonds.
Sprinkle a little cinnamon and add a bit of lemon extract, then mix everything.
Place parchment paper in the air fryer basket and form the cookies using two spoons.
Set the cooking temperature to 284°F for about 20–25 minutes.
Once cooked, let cool and then sprinkle with powdered sugar.
The apple and almond cookies in the air fryer keep their fragrance and softness for a few days if covered with plastic wrap.
