Air Fryer Big Apple Fritters

Sweet, golden, and full of real apple chunks — made lighter in the air fryer!

Ingredients (Makes 6–8 large fritters):

  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 1½ tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp cinnamon

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1 egg

  • ⅓ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tbsp melted butter or oil

  • Optional: powdered sugar or glaze for topping

For the Glaze (optional):

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

  • 1 tbsp milk

  • Dash of vanilla

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Batter:
    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
    In a separate bowl, whisk egg, milk, vanilla, and melted butter.
    Combine wet and dry ingredients, then gently fold in diced apples.

  2. Shape the Fritters:
    Scoop about ¼ cup of batter per fritter and flatten slightly into a rough disc. Lightly spray air fryer basket with oil or use parchment with holes.

  3. Air Fry:

    • Preheat air fryer to 180°C (350°F).

    • Air fry fritters in batches for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.

  4. Glaze (Optional):
    Mix glaze ingredients and drizzle over warm fritters or dust with powdered sugar.

✅ Tips:

  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer — give each fritter space to rise and crisp.

  • Add raisins or chopped pecans for extra texture.

  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes.
