Air Fryer Apple Fritters

Homemade apple fritters are the ultimate cozy breakfast or easy dessert made with fresh apples, in the air fryer instead of deep fried for a healthier swap, and dipped in a simple glaze!

Servings: 12-14

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

Total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 tsp. Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp. Fine Sea Salt
  • 1 ½ tsp. Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. Ground Allspice
  • ¼ cup Granulated Cane Sugar
  • ⅓ cup Whole Milk
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
  • 2 T Melted Butter
  • 3 T Applesauce
  • 2 cups Honeycrisp Apples, finely diced
  • 1 T Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 T Olive Oil
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar 
  • ¼ cup Milk, for the glaze

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, allspice and sugar. 
  2. Create a well in the center to add the milk, eggs, vanilla, butter and applesauce. Mix the wet ingredients, then fold into the dry ingredients. 
  3. Add the diced apples and apple cider vinegar. Fold all ingredients together with a spatula just until combined. 
  4. Line your air fryer with parchment paper. Use a large cookie scoop to drop large dollops of batter onto the paper, working in small batches of 3-4 fritters at a time. 
  5. Drizzle lightly with olive oil. 
  6. Bake at 425F for 7-8 minutes, until deeply golden, then flip to bake an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side. 
  7. To make the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar and milk together until smooth. Dip the tops of the cooked apple fritters in the glaze, then let rest on a wire rack until the glaze is set, about 1-2 minutes. Enjoy warm!
