Air Fryer Apple Fritters
Description
These apple fritters are made by mixing flour, baking powder, sugar, and warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and optional cardamom with eggs, milk, and vanilla. Peeled, cored, and chopped apples are folded into the batter, which is portioned into fritters spaced properly to cook evenly in the air fryer. Spraying with cooking oil before and after flipping fosters a golden exterior crust. The fritters cook quickly at 350°F, yielding a lightly crisp shell while keeping the interior dough and apple pieces soft and tender. A glaze can be drizzled after cooking for extra sweetness and shine. The air fryer method simplifies traditional frying by using less oil and still achieving a satisfying texture contrast between crust and fruit.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 120 g
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch ground nutmeg
- pinch ground cardamom optional
- 2 egg
- ¼ cup milk 60 ml
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 apple peeled, cored and chopped
- cooking spray for brushing, or oil
- glaze if preferred
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F / 180 degrees C.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and spices in a mixing bowl.
- Add the eggs, milk and vanilla extract, whisking to combine.
- Stir in the apples; the dough should hold together.
- Measure out around a ⅓ cup of dough for each fritter, and add to the basket of the air fryer. Makeing sure to leave space in between. Spray or brush the fritters with oil, then fry for 8 minutes.
- Flip the apple fritters, spray or brush the other side with oil the and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Remove from air fryer, drizzle with glaze (if desired), and serve.
Notes
- Cook only one or two fritters at a time to allow proper air circulation and even cooking.
- If the batter is very wet, line the air fryer basket with parchment paper sprayed lightly with oil to prevent sticking but still allow airflow.
- Dry chopped apples thoroughly with a towel before adding to the batter to avoid sogginess.
- Use an ice cream scoop to portion the batter evenly for consistent fritter size.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and consume within 3-5 days for best texture and freshness.
