Correct! It’s perfect for not overcooking. :)
So good!
So easy and YUMMY! This was my first thing to make in my new air fryer. Success!
I am excited to try this recipe. Making dessert in the air fryer is a great idea! My kids will love this one, maybe topped with frozen yogurt.
Unfortunately these were a miss for me 😔 . They lacked much flavor despite the seasoning. Perhaps next time I’ll use Apple pie spices and honey.
Oh no, I’m sorry you didn’t like them!
