Steps:
- Prepare the air fryer basket or tray with a piece of parchment.
- Peel, core and dice the apples. Place in a bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, spices and sugar until well combined.
- Shred the butter using a cheese grater and add it into the flour mixture. You can also work the butter in using a pasty cutter, but the cheese grater method will distribute the butter more evenly.
- Stir the butter until well coated with the flour mixture.
- In a glass measuring cup or separate bowl, combine the milk, egg and vanilla.
- Pour milk mixture into the bowl with the flour and gently stir until just combined (do not overwork the batter).
- Fold in the diced apples.
- Using a small cookie scoop (1 1/2 tsp size) cluster 2-3 scoops of batter (to form 1 fritter) onto the parchment lined tray. With the back of the scoop, slightly flatten the top.
- Leave at least 1 1/2 inches of space between each fritter.
- Spray the tops with a neutral oil cooking spray.
- Air fry for 9 minutes at 375 degrees until medium golden brown.
- While the fritters cool, prepare the glaze.
- In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
- Generously top each fritter with glaze. Allow to set 1 hour before storing.
- Will keep for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
Tips:
- For perfectly crispy fritters, ensure your apple slices are thinly sliced and coated evenly in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- If your air fryer has a preheat setting, use it to preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) before cooking the fritters.
- To achieve a golden brown color, cook the fritters in batches, ensuring they have enough space to cook evenly without overcrowding the air fryer basket.
- Keep an eye on the fritters as they cook, adjusting the cooking time if necessary to prevent overcooking.
- Serve the fritters warm, topped with additional cinnamon-sugar mixture, maple syrup, or whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
Conclusion:
Air fryer apple fritters are a delightful and healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried fritters. With their crispy exterior and tender, flavorful interior, these fritters are a perfect snack or dessert that can be enjoyed guilt-free. Experiment with different apple varieties and toppings to create your unique fritter variations. Whether you prefer classic cinnamon-sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, these air fryer apple fritters are sure to satisfy your cravings.
