  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups All-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 large Egg
  • ½ cup Milk
  • 2 medium Apples (like Fuji or Gala), peeled, cored, and finely diced

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the large egg and milk until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Gently fold in the finely diced apples. Do not overmix the batter.
  3. Step 3: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Using two spoons, drop about 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the prepared basket, ensuring not to overcrowd it (work in batches if necessary).
  4. Step 4: Air fry the apple fritters for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model.
  5. Step 5: While the fritters are still warm, prepare an optional glaze: whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons milk (or water), and ¼ teaspoon vanilla bean paste until smooth. Drizzle or dip the warm fritters into the glaze before serving immediately.

Notes

  • To keep these fritters at their best, store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days; for longer enjoyment, refrigeration will extend their freshness.
  • Bring back that glorious warmth and crisp exterior by popping cooled fritters into your air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for just 3-5 minutes until perfectly reheated.
  • Elevate your dessert experience by serving these warm fritters with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, or a light dusting of extra cinnamon sugar for an indulgent treat.
  • Remember the golden rule of 'do not overmix' the batter; a gentle hand ensures your fritters stay wonderfully tender and light, never tough!
