Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large apple (like Honeycrisp or Gala), peeled, cored, and diced small
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cooking spray or light oil for the air fryer basket
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk or water

Instructions

  1. Dice your apple into small, uniform pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are fine.
  5. Fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed in the batter.
  6. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  7. Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter (about 1 tablespoon each) into the air fryer basket, leaving space between them. Work in batches.
  8. Lightly spray the tops of the fritters with cooking spray.
  9. Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  10. While the fritters cook, prepare the glaze. Whisk the powdered sugar and milk/water until smooth. Add more liquid slowly to reach a drizzling consistency.
  11. Remove the fritters from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Choose firm apples that hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches for the best crispness.
  • Adjust the glaze thickness by adding powdered sugar for thicker glaze or more liquid for thinner glaze.
