Want to make bakewell tarts in your air fryer? Food writer Katy Greenwood’s easy recipe makes it possible.

  • Anytime sweet treat: “These tarts are great as an afternoon tea treat, or served as a dessert, still warm with a little thick cream,” says Katy.
  • Quick bake: the recipe uses ready-rolled shortcrust pastry and shop-bought raspberry jam for speed – only 15 minutes hand-on time is required to roll out the pastry, stir together the frangipane filling, and assemble the tarts.
  • Top tip: “When lining the tarts with the baking paper, make sure to keep the paper quite neat, as any long bits may catch the heating element of the air fryer,” advises Katy.
