I have yet to try to "bake" anything in my air fryer. These look like I need to try! They remind me of the apple cider donut holes we get on the way back from Shenandoah.

I'm super excited to this recipe - love that they're made in the air fryer instead of fried, and there's just enough pumpkin to make this a fantastic fall treat.
