Ingredients

Scale

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 the Apples: Peel, core, and dice the apples into small, even pieces to ensure they cook uniformly within the fritters.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.
  3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing, then fold in the diced apples carefully.
  5. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat for about 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 space between each fritter so they cook evenly and don’t stick together.
  7. Air Fry the Fritters: Cook the fritters for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to achieve even browning and a crispy exterior.
  8. Finish and Serve: Once cooked and golden, remove the fritters and dust them generously with powdered sugar before serving warm for the best taste.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweet and tangy flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the fritters light and fluffy.
  • If your air fryer basket is small, cook the fritters in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • Serve fritters warm with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the air fryer for crispiness.
