Air Fryer Apple Fritters Recipe

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk to combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk to combine the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.

Step 3

Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Add the butter, then stir to combine until no dry streaks of flour remain. Fold in the apples, stirring just until combined.

Step 4

If necessary, preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Line the basket of an air fryer with parchment paper and spray it with nonstick spray.

Step 5

Scoop 4, leveled, ¼ cup portions onto the parchment paper in the air fryer basket.

Step 6

Air fry at 375°F for 8 minutes. Flip onto the other side and cook for an additional 3 minutes to finish cooking the bottoms and centers through. Transfer the fritters to a wire rack set over a sheet tray to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter in batches. Let them cool slightly.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until very smooth. Whisk in the butter.

Step 8

Dip the tops of the fritters in the glaze, coating the sides. Return the fritters top side up to the wire rack. Serve immediately.
