How to prepare the Apple and Walnut Cake in Air Fryer
Peel the apples, remove the core, cut them into cubes, place them in a bowl, drizzle with lemon juice and mix with a spoon
Add cinnamon, grated lemon zest, and roughly chopped walnuts, saving some for decoration. Mix to flavor everything and set aside
In another bowl, whisk the eggs with brown sugar and salt until the mixture is fluffy and foamy
Add the oil in a thin stream and continue mixing until absorbed
Add the Greek yogurt and blend with the whisk
Now pour the sifted flour and baking powder all at once and mix until the batter is smooth and homogeneous
Add the apples and walnuts to the egg and flour mixture, gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon
Pour the batter into the previously greased and floured pan, leveling the surface and sprinkle with the reserved walnuts. Preheat the air fryer to 320°F for 2/3 minutes
Place the pan on the rack and cook with the bake or air fry program at 320°F for 40/45 minutes, doing the toothpick test after 30 minutes and in multiple spots. It should come out completely dry
After baking, leave the cake inside for 5 minutes with the door slightly open
Remove from the oven and let it cool
The Apple and Walnut Cake is ready to be enjoyed. Slice it and serve😋
