Ingredients
Scale
Fritters
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 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
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare Apples: Peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces to ensure they cook evenly and blend perfectly into the fritter batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg, stirring well to distribute the spices evenly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to avoid overmixing, then fold in the diced apples carefully.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for approximately 5 minutes to ensure it is at ideal cooking temperature.
- Shape Fritters: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the air fryer basket, spacing them apart to allow air circulation for even cooking.
- Air Fry: Cook the fritters for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through to achieve even browning on both sides.
- Finish and Serve: Once cooked and golden, remove the fritters from the air fryer and dust generously with powdered sugar before serving warm.
Notes
- Ensure the apples are diced small to cook thoroughly within the short air frying time.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation and crisping.
- Flipping halfway through cooking is key for even texture and color.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
- You can customize by adding raisins or chopped nuts into the batter if desired.
