Gluten-free mini apple cakes in the air fryer

Ingredients

• 2 Red apples (Remove the cores and seeds; cut into thin slices)
• 70 g Cornstarch
• 50 g Milk
• 20 g Sugar (Or erythritol)
• 5 g Baking powder
• 2 Eggs
• Brown sugar (As needed for the surface)

Steps

1. 1

   Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them with the sugar, or with the erythritol. Add the milk and mix.

2. 2

   Sift the cornstarch and baking powder together. Add them to the mixture and incorporate with a hand whisk until smooth.

3. 3

   Wash and dry the apples; remove the cores and seeds. Cut them into thin slices using a mandoline.

4. 4

   Add the apple slices to the batter and mix gently so that they are well coated.

5. 5

   Line the molds with parchment paper or use lightly greased silicone molds. Divide the mixture among the molds, arranging the apple slices evenly.

6. 6

   Finish the surface with a little brown sugar.

7. 7

   Cook in the air fryer at 170 °C for approximately 17–20 minutes, until the cakes are set and lightly golden. Monitor the cooking, especially during the final minutes, because air fryer models may perform differently.

8. 8

   Remove the molds from the basket and leave the cakes to cool. Let them rest for at least 3 hours before serving: once cold, they set and slice more easily.

Notes

For silicone molds, the source indicates that they should be lightly greased but does not specify which ingredient to use. The total time of 207 minutes includes the resting time of at least 3 hours.
