Steps
To prepare the apple walnut and chocolate cookies in the air fryer, first pour the all-purpose flour, chopped walnuts (alternatively, blend whole walnuts until chopped), sugar, cinnamon, and baking powder into a blender or food processor. Mix the dry ingredients together.
Then, add the cold butter cut into pieces. Blend until you get a sandy mixture. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Blend again for a few seconds, just enough to incorporate the egg. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl or a work surface and knead to combine the ingredients. Don’t worry if the dough is not very compact.
Wash the apple, peel it, remove the core, and cut it into small pieces. Add the apple to the dough and work with your hands: the moisture from the fruit will help make the mixture more compact. Then, add the chocolate chips and continue kneading to distribute them evenly.
Form small balls with your hands, flatten them slightly, and place them in the basket of the air fryer (in my 6-liter fryer, 10 cookies fit). After preheating the air fryer for a couple of minutes at 320°F, cook the cookies for 10 minutes. After this time, lower the temperature to 300°F and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
Once ready, remove the cookies and let them cool on a rack. If desired, you can dust them with powdered sugar.
