Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Air Fryer Apple Fritters
  1. Prepare Apples: Begin by peeling, coring, and dicing your apples into 1/2 inch pieces.
  2. Make Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  3. Fold in Apples: Carefully add the diced apples to the batter, folding them in gently.
  4. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and preheat it for approximately 5 minutes.
  5. Shape Fritters: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the air fryer basket.
  6. Cook Fritters: Air fry the fritters for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking process.
  7. Prepare Glaze: Remove the fritters from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Present your Air Fryer Apple Fritters warm.
