1

Prepare and Caramelize the Apples

355°F14m

Line an air fryer-safe baking pan with a parchment insert.
Peel and core 3 small apples, then cut them into medium-sized cubes or slices.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the microwave.
Place the apples in the prepared pan and add the melted butter, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
Toss until the apple pieces are evenly coated.
Air fry at 360°F (180°C) for 14 minutes, until softened and lightly caramelized.

Cut the apples into similarly sized pieces for even cooking.

Make the Greek Yogurt Custard

5m

Crack 4 eggs into a large mixing bowl.
Add 4 tablespoons of sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Finely grate the yellow zest of 1 lemon directly into the bowl, avoiding the bitter white pith.
Whisk for 1–2 minutes until lightly foamy and the sugar begins to dissolve.
Add 400 g of Greek yogurt and sift in 40 g of cornstarch.
Whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.

Use room-temperature eggs and sift the cornstarch to prevent lumps.

Add the Custard and Bake

310°F35m

Carefully pull out the air fryer basket containing the hot apples.
Pour the Greek yogurt custard evenly over the warm apple layer.
Gently stir with a spatula to allow the custard to settle between the apple pieces.
Return the pan to the air fryer.
Bake at 310°F (155°C) for 35 minutes, until the edges are set and the custard has risen.

Avoid vigorous stirring, which can break up the softened apples.

4

Add the Almond and Honey Topping

320°F7m

Carefully pull out the air fryer basket.
Drizzle a thin honey grid over the custard surface.
Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of sliced almonds evenly over the top.
Lightly drizzle any remaining honey over the almonds and apply 1 spray of vegetable oil.
Return the pan to the air fryer and bake at 320°F (160°C) for 7 minutes, until the almonds are golden and the honey is bubbling.
Check the center with a food thermometer. It should reach 82–85°C (180–185°F). Alternatively, insert a wooden skewer into the center; it should come out clean.

Make sure the lightweight almond slices are secured by the honey before air frying.

5

Cool and Set Before Serving

Turn off the air fryer and leave the basket slightly open.
Let the cake rest inside for 10 minutes.
Carefully remove the pan and cool at room temperature for 30–40 minutes.
Lift the cake out using the parchment edges, slice, and serve.

Allow the custard to stabilize before slicing for cleaner pieces.
