- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients

Additions

Preparation
- Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced apples (and chopped nuts or raisins, if using).
- Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper or use silicone muffin cups.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Cooking
- Place the muffin cups in the air fryer basket and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the basket before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
For the best flavor, opt for tart apples like Granny Smith or sweet varieties like Honeycrisp. Avoid overmixing for light, airy muffins.
