These Air Fryer Apple Fritters are a quick and delicious treat featuring tender diced apples in a spiced batter, perfectly cooked to golden crispness using an air fryer. Lightly dusted with powdered sugar, they provide a healthier twist on the classic fried dessert with less oil and mess.

Ingredients

Fruit

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare Apples: Peel, core, and dice the apples into small, even pieces to ensure they cook through nicely and evenly in the fritters.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir together until well incorporated.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract together until smooth and combined.
  4. Combine Batter: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Then, fold in the diced apples carefully to avoid overmixing and tough batter.
  5. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for approximately 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  6. Shape and Place Fritters: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the air fryer basket, making sure to leave enough space between each fritter to promote even air circulation and browning.
  7. Air Fry: Cook the fritters for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to achieve an even golden-brown crust on both sides.
  8. Finish and Serve: Remove the fritters from the air fryer and dust them lightly with powdered sugar while still warm. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use sweet apple varieties such as Fuji or Honeycrisp.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
  • Reheat leftovers in the air fryer to restore crispiness before serving.
