German apple cake - Yummy Recipes

For this traditional German apple cake, use your favourite eating apples. Take it to a coffee morning or enjoy it with afternoon tea.

Preheat the Air Fryer:

For around five minutes, preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C).

Prepare the Apples:

To keep the thinly sliced apples from browning, mix them with lemon juice in a basin. Put aside.
Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a another bowl, whisk together the baking powder, salt, and all-purpose flour.

Prepare the Batter:

Beat the softened butter and granulated sugar in a sizable mixing basin until the mixture is light and fluffy.
One egg at a time, add them, beating thoroughly after each addition.
Add the vanilla extract and stir.
Alternately add the milk and the dry components to the wet ingredients gradually, mixing just until incorporated.

Assemble the Cake:

Apply some frying spray or butter to a round cake pan that fits within the air fryer basket.
Evenly distribute half of the cake batter into the bottom of the pan that has been prepared.
Place half of the apple slices in a row over the batter.
Proceed with the leftover batter and cut apples.

Air Fry the Cake:

Set the cake pan within the air fryer basket that has been warmed.
A toothpick placed into the centre of the cake should come out clean after 25 to 30 minutes of cooking it at 320°F (160°C) in the air fryer.

Glaze the Cake:

After the cake is done, take it out of the air fryer and allow it to cool for a little while in the pan.
For a glossy finish, brush the warm apple jelly or apricot jam over the top of the cake.
Serve:
If desired, dust the cake with powdered sugar prior to slicing and serving.
