  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

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

  1. Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and dice 2 medium apples into small pieces, setting them aside for the batter.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Stir to distribute evenly.
  3. Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing. Fold in the diced apples carefully.
  5. Preheat air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for approximately 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  6. Shape fritters: Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the air fryer basket, leaving enough space between each fritter to allow for air circulation and even cooking.
  7. Air fry the fritters: Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping the fritters halfway through the cooking time to achieve an even golden-brown crust on both sides.
  8. Finish and serve: Once cooked, remove the fritters from the air fryer and dust them generously with powdered sugar while still warm. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to maintain a light fritter texture.
  • Flipping halfway during air frying promotes even browning and crispness.
  • You can substitute apple with other fruits like pear or zucchini for variation.
  • Serve fritters warm for optimum taste and texture.
  • Adjust cinnamon and nutmeg quantity to taste for more or less spice.
