Ingredients
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour (w 260)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (or milk)
- 0.28 oz fresh yeast
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp sunflower oil
- 1 pinch salt
- Half teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Half vial vanilla flavor
- 1 apple
- 3 tbsp chocolate chips
Tools
- 1 Air Fryer
- 1 Rolling Pin
Steps
To prepare the apple and chocolate swirls in the air fryer, start by pouring the flour, half a teaspoon of cinnamon, and sugar into a bowl and mixing the dry ingredients. Add the yeast, crumbling it with your hands directly into the flour. Add the yogurt (alternatively, you can use milk), sunflower oil, vanilla flavor, egg, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until you get a smooth and homogeneous dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise until the volume doubles: it will take about 4-5 hours.
When the dough has risen, transfer it to a sheet of parchment paper and roll it out with a rolling pin until you get a rectangle of about 15.75 x 11.75 inches. Next, wash the apples, peel them, core them, and cut them into small cubes or, if you prefer, thin slices.
Evenly distribute the chopped apples and chocolate chips over the entire surface of the dough, then roll it up using the parchment paper. With a sharp knife, cut the roll to obtain about 10 swirls and let them rise for about 20 minutes.
After the rising time, place the swirls in the air fryer basket, preheated for a couple of minutes at 311°F, and cook them for 10/12 minutes.
And here you have delicious swirls with apples and chocolate chips ready! If you wish, you can sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
Storage and Tips
The apple and chocolate swirls in the air fryer can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
If you have more time, you can reduce the amount of fresh yeast from 0.28 oz to 0.07 oz and let the dough rise in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours. Take it out a couple of hours before working it, then proceed with rolling and forming the swirls.
