How to Make Apple Fritters in the Air Fryer
NOTE: This recipe was made with a 5.8 qt Corsori Air Fryer. If you’re using a different brand of air fryer, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly. All air fryers cook differently.
Tips:
Granny Smith Apples: It’s tempting to use sweeter apples, but Granny Smith apples are the best apples for this recipe because they’re not as juicy and won’t make the Air Fryer fritters soggy.Alternative Flour: You can use almond flour or coconut flour to make an even healthier version of this recipe.Alternative Sugar: You can substitute maple syrup or brown sugar for the granulated sugar to add a deeper flavor to the fritters.Cooking spray: You can use olive oil, canola oil, or avocado oil nonstick spray to coat the Air Fryer basket.Butter: You can use melted butter or softened butter for this recipe. You can also substitute margarine for butter if you like.Spices: You can add more spices to this classic apple dessert if you want a spicier flavor. For example, you can add nutmeg or cloves, which gives the fritters a more autumnal flavor.Glaze: If you put too much milk in your glaze, add more powdered sugar. On the other hand, you can add more milk to loosen up the glaze if you put too much powdered sugar. If you prefer a thicker glaze, don’t use as much milk. You can also use a splash of half-n-half instead of milk.
