A creamy, crustless Italian-style ricotta cake studded with diced green apple, flavored simply with vanilla. It bakes in the air fryer until barely set and firms up as it chills, like a cross between cheesecake and custard tart.
It uses just five ingredients and needs a couple of hours in the fridge, so it is a great make-ahead dessert.
