Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced

For Finishing

  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and dice 2 medium apples into small pieces to ensure they cook evenly and blend well into the batter.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Stir the ingredients together until fully blended.
  3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 1/2 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring gently to avoid overmixing, just until the batter comes together. Then fold in the diced apples evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for approximately 5 minutes to ensure even cooking from the start.
  6. Shape and Place Fritters: Drop spoonfuls of the batter carefully into the air fryer basket, making sure to leave enough space between each fritter so they can expand and cook evenly.
  7. Air Fry: Cook the fritters for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to attain an even golden-brown crust on both sides.
  8. Finish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the fritters and dust generously with powdered sugar. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute the apples with pears or peaches for a different flavor.
  • For crispier fritters, spray a light coat of cooking oil in the air fryer basket before placing the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the fritters tender and fluffy.
  • These fritters are best served immediately but can be kept warm in a low oven for short periods.
  • Adjust sugar quantity to taste or add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup when serving.
