Yes, you definitely can! "What are you up to" is another way of asking "what are you doing." It is a way of asking what the person is currently doing and is also a way to learn what new things are happening in that person's life. Ex: A: Hey, what are you up to? B: Not much. Just watching t.v. Ex: A: What are you up to? B: Cooking dinner.
