Air Fryer Apple Almond Custard Cake (Flourless Style) + Raspberry Sauce
Soft, creamy, and lightly sweet, this dessert blends apples, eggs, milk, and almonds into a custard-like cake that “melts in the mouth” when baked in the air fryer. It’s naturally flourless and has a gentle baked-apple flavor with a silky texture.
Ingredients
Cake
- 3 apples (peeled, grated or finely chopped)
- 3 eggs
- 1 glass milk (about 200–250 ml)
- 1 cup almond flour (this is important for structure)

- Pinch of salt
Raspberry Sauce
