Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced

Dry Ingredients

  • 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

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and dice 2 medium apples into small pieces to ensure they mix well into the batter and cook evenly.
  2. Make the dry batter: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, mixing well to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
  3. Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to form a batter. Avoid overmixing to keep the fritters tender. Fold in the diced apples evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Preheat the air fryer: Set the air fryer temperature to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  6. Shape the fritters: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of batter into the air fryer basket, spacing them out to allow hot air circulation and even cooking.
  7. Air fry the fritters: Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping the fritters halfway through the cooking time to achieve golden brown and crispy surfaces on both sides.
  8. Finish with powdered sugar: Once cooked through and crisp, remove the fritters from the air fryer and dust them generously with powdered sugar before serving for a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispy texture.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your air fryer model and the size of the fritters.
  • For added flavor, consider stirring in a pinch of ground cloves or cardamom with the spices.
  • These fritters are best enjoyed fresh and warm but can be reheated briefly in the air fryer to regain crispiness.
