Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large apples (Granny Smith or Fuji work well)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for a healthier option)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: powdered sugar, caramel sauce, or nut toppings
Instructions
- Core and dice the apples into small, bite-sized pieces. Leave skins on or peel as preferred.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in diced apples to coat evenly.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray the basket with non-stick spray.
- Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion batter into the basket, forming small rounds without overcrowding.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. Adjust time for larger or smaller fritters.
- Serve warm with toppings like powdered sugar, caramel, or nuts for extra flavor.
Notes
- Choose firm apples to prevent mushiness after cooking.
- Adjust cooking time based on fritter size and air fryer wattage.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to enrich flavor.
- Preheat the air fryer for consistent results.
