📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your air fryer to 300 degrees F. If you don’t have a preheat function you can simply set your air fryer to 300 and let it run for ~⏱️ 5 minutes to reach the desired temperature.
2
In a medium sized mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
baking powder2 tspcinnamon1.5 tsp
3
In a large bowl combine the egg, sugar, milk, vanilla and butter. Mix well.

Now add the flour mixture to your bowl of wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
5
Fold in your apples.

6
Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper (I like to lightly spray mine with non-stick spray) then drop a heaping 1/4 cup of the batter onto the parchment paper. My air fryer can hold 3 at a time. You will likely need to do more than one batch. You do not want to overcrowd your fritters. I recommend making sure there are a few apple pieces on top to make the noticeably apple fritters!
7
Air fryer your apple fritters for a total of ⏱️ 12 minutes.
8
Once cooked you can remove your fritters from the air fryer and place on a cooling rack.
9
As your fritters cool you can make the glaze by combining the butter, powdered sugar and milk together in a shallow bowl or container and whisking until you get a uniform glaze. This should be a light white color and just a bit runny where it can run off a spoon. If it’s too thick pop it in the microwave for a few seconds (5-10 at a time) until it gets runny again

Now take your slightly cooled fritters and place them face down in the glaze and cover the tops fully- no need to do the bottom (note: you want to see that they’re glazed but the glaze should be see through enough where you can also see the color of the fritter coming through- it shouldn’t be white and it shouldn’t be clear! Somewhere in the middle :) )

Allow to cool fully and enjoy!
