Steps for preparing and cooking the apple tart in the air fryer:
Peel the apples, remove the core, and cut them into small cubes. Place them in a bowl, add the lemon juice, and stir well to prevent them from browning.
In a pan, place the granulated sugar, turn on the heat, and when it melts, add the apples and ground cinnamon, stir well and cook for a few minutes until the apples are well caramelized, turn off the heat and let cool.
In a large bowl, place the room temperature egg and sugar, beat the ingredients well with a whisk, add the vegetable oil, and incorporate it with the other ingredients. Then add the sifted baking powder and gradually the flour, mix the ingredients well, then transfer them to a pastry board and shape into a smooth and homogeneous dough, divide it into two parts, one larger than the other.
With the rolling pin, roll out the larger piece into a sheet about half a centimeter thick, then line an 18/20 cm pan with parchment paper and place it on the pie dish (adjust the pan size according to your air fryer’s measurements), spread the dough well and trim the excess.
Add the now cool apples and make an even layer.
With the remaining dough, make stripes and lay them on top of the tart.
