How to prepare Apple muffins in air fryer

To prepare the apple muffins in the air fryer, first melt the butter in a saucepan, then let it cool slightly. Place the egg in a bowl along with the sugar 1 and start working with the electric beaters until you get a light and frothy mixture 2. Pour in the yogurt 3 and continue mixing.

Add the vanilla bean seeds 4 and the melted butter 5. Incorporate everything with the beaters, while also adding a pinch of salt 6.

Sift the flour and baking powder into a separate bowl 7, then add the dry ingredients to the mixture one tablespoon at a time, keeping the beaters running 8. You should obtain a homogeneous mixture 9.

Now peel the apple and cut it into thin slices 10, then cut the slices in half 11. Add the apples to the mixture 12.

Mix with a spatula to incorporate them evenly 13. At this point, line 8 aluminum molds with a capacity of 100 ml with paper muffin cups 14 and fill them three-quarters full with the batter 15.

Place the molds in the air fryer (we used a fryer with a 6-liter capacity) 16 and cook at 340°F for 12 minutes, then lower the temperature to 320°F and continue cooking for another 4 minutes 17: we cooked 4 muffins at a time in an air fryer with a 4.2-liter capacity. Your apple muffins in the air fryer are ready to be enjoyed 18!

Storage

Apple muffins in the air fryer can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in an airtight container.

You can freeze the muffins after cooking and cooling them.

Advice

You can flavor the batter with lemon zest, cinnamon, or ginger instead of vanilla.

If you prefer, you can cut the apples into cubes!

The muffins may rise differently depending on how they are positioned inside the air fryer, so we recommend checking halfway through cooking to see if you need to rotate the muffin cups.
