Ingredients

Scale

2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on apple sweetness)
1 large egg
1/2 cup whole milk (or almond milk)
Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk until combined.
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir gently.
Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed without overmixing.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the air fryer basket, ensuring space between each fritter.
Cook for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown; check periodically and cook in 2-minute increments if needed.
Remove carefully and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
