Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Apple Cake

- Brown Sugar: Adds rich caramel flavor and keeps cake moist.
- Eggs: Provide moisture and structure plus a touch of richness.
- Apples: Add sweet apple flavor, tender texture, and seasonal appeal.
- All-Purpose Flour: Gives structure to the cake and a tender crumb.
How To Make Air Fryer Apple Cake

Step One: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Step Two: Then add the flour and mix well.
Step Three: Fold the apples into the batter, mixing, so they are evenly distributed.
Step Four: Lightly spray your cake pan with olive oil spray. Pour the prepared batter into the pan and place it in the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 320°F and cook for 12–15 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, it’s ready! If not, cook for a few more minutes.

Air Fryer Apple Cake Recipe Tips
✅ Use Sweet Apples – Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala work best for flavor and texture. 🍏🍯
✅ Don’t Overmix – Gently stir batter to keep the cake light and fluffy. 🥄✨
✅ Grease the Pan Well – A light spray of oil prevents sticking. 🧴🧁
✅ Check with a Toothpick – Insert into the center; it should come out clean. 🪥👀
✅ Let It Cool Slightly – Resting helps the cake set before slicing. ⏳🍽️
Storing
Storing 🍰: Store leftover apple cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for 4–5 days. Let it cool completely before sealing to maintain texture.
Freezing ❄️: Wrap slices individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
Reheating 🔥: Reheat in the air fryer at 300°F for 2–3 minutes for a just-baked feel. You can also warm it in the microwave for about 20 seconds.

Air Fryer Apple Cake Recipe Faqs
❓ Can I use any type of apple? Yes! Sweet apples like Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp work best. 🍏🍯
❓ Do I need to peel the apples? Peeling is recommended for the best texture, but it’s optional. ✨🔪
❓ What kind of cake pan should I use? Use an air fryer-safe 6–7 inch cake pan or baking dish. 🧁🔥
❓ How do I know the cake is done? Insert a toothpick in the center—if it comes out clean, it’s ready! 🪥⏱️
❓ Can I double the recipe? Yes, but bake in batches or use a larger air fryer-safe pan. 📏🍽️

Air Fryer Apple Cake

This Air Fryer Apple Cake is a quick and cozy dessert made with just four simple ingredients. It’s soft, fluffy, and filled with sweet apple flavor—ready in under 30 minutes. Perfect for fall or whenever you need a warm, comforting treat! 🍎🍰
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup peeled and diced apples
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and eggs until smooth.
Stir in the flour until the batter is fully combined.
Gently fold in the chopped apples, making sure they're evenly distributed throughout the batter. Lightly spray your cake pan with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place it in the air fryer. Cook at 320°F for 12–15 minutes.
Insert a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, the cake is done. If not, cook for an additional 2–3 minutes. Let cool slightly, slice, and enjoy warm!
Notes
Note: The exact time will depend on what air fryer you own and how thick your cake pan is. I do not recommend a very thick cake pan, as the center will not cook.

I made this cake with cooking apples from my daughters trees. The recipe was so simple to follow. I cooked the cake in my air fryer in 8″ cake tin and was so pleased with the result. I have since made another couple of cakes with equal success. When my son, who is quite a fussy eater, called round I offered him a slice to try. I asked hom what he thought, he responded by saying you won’t think me greedy if I have another slice. Result!
