Air Fryer Apple Fritters Food

AIR FRYER APPLE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Prepare the air fryer basket or tray with a piece of parchment.
• Peel, core and dice the apples. Place in a bowl and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, spices and sugar until well combined.
• Shred the butter using a cheese grater and add it into the flour mixture. You can also work the butter in using a pasty cutter, but the cheese grater method will distribute the butter more evenly.
• Stir the butter until well coated with the flour mixture.
• In a glass measuring cup or separate bowl, combine the milk, egg and vanilla.
• Pour milk mixture into the bowl with the flour and gently stir until just combined (do not overwork the batter).
• Fold in the diced apples.
• Using a small cookie scoop (1 1/2 tsp size) cluster 2-3 scoops of batter (to form 1 fritter) onto the parchment lined tray. With the back of the scoop, slightly flatten the top.
• Leave at least 1 1/2 inches of space between each fritter.
• Spray the tops with a neutral oil cooking spray.
• Air fry for 9 minutes at 375 degrees until medium golden brown.
• While the fritters cool, prepare the glaze.
• In a bowl, mix the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
• Generously top each fritter with glaze. Allow to set 1 hour before storing.
• Will keep for 2-3 days in an airtight container.

AIR-FRYER APPLE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Line air-fryer basket with parchment (cut to fit); spritz with cooking spray. Preheat air fryer to 410°. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add milk, eggs, lemon juice and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; stir just until moistened. Fold in apples. In batches, drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls 2-in. apart onto air-fryer basket. Spritz with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, 5-6 minutes. Turn fritters; continue to air-fry until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Melt butter in small saucepan over medium-high heat. Carefully cook until butter starts to brown and foam, 5 minutes. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Add confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon milk and remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to browned butter; whisk until smooth. Drizzle over fritters before serving.
