  • Total Time: 18-20 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 fritters

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large tart apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • Optional: powdered sugar or caramel sauce for topping

Instructions

  1. Peel, core, and cut the apples into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped apples, ensuring they are evenly coated with the batter.
  6. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the basket with non-stick spray or brush with oil.
  7. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter into the basket, shaping into small rounds.
  8. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  9. Allow the fritters to cool slightly before serving. Top with powdered sugar or caramel sauce if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

  • For added flavor, sprinkle with additional cinnamon or nutmeg before serving.
  • Leftover fritters can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat in the air fryer or toaster oven to restore crispiness; avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
