Preheat the air fryer to 3500F (1800C) for about 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
In a separate large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in pumpkin puree, diced apples, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Grease a cake pan that fits into your air fryer basket.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
Place the cake pan in the air fryer basket.
Air fry the Pumpkin Apple Cake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cake with powdered sugar if desired.
Slice and serve the Pumpkin Apple Cake, savoring the warm and comforting flavors of fall.
