If you love apples, you will love this air fryer apple cake! It has chunks of apples throughout the cake as well as brown sugar and apples on the top.
Air Fryer Apple Cake
This air fryer apple cake is really flavourful on its own, but you can take it to the next level when topped with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.
If apples are not your thing, this same recipe could also be made using pears. Simply swap out the apples for the same amount of pears.
To make this cake, you will need a deep cake pan that will fit in your air fryer. I used this 7 x 4 inch cake pan.
I baked mine in the Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven but it can be made in any air fryer. However, each air fryer can cook slightly different. So just be sure you keep an eye on it when you bake it for the first time.
