Ingredients
Cake / Bars:
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup apple butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup raisins
Icing:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
- Add the flour, egg, apple butter, baking soda, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and raisins. Mix well.
- Spray a thin, air-fryer-safe baking pan with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Spread the batter into the pan in an even layer.
- Place the pan in the air fryer and cook at 320°F for 12–15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until it reaches the consistency of glue.
- Drizzle the icing over the cooled bars.
- Let the glaze set for a few minutes, then slice, serve, and enjoy!
Equipment
- Cooking Spray
- Thin baking pan (air-fryer safe)
Notes
- Measure flour by spooning and leveling to avoid dry bars.
- Use a shallow pan so the center cooks through.
- Tent with foil if the top browns before the center sets.
- Works in Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, GoWise, PowerXL, and most air fryer models.
