Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Apple Stuffed Donuts
- Biscuits: These pre-made biscuits serve as the base for the donuts.
- Apples: Two large apples were used here.
- Butter: Melted and combined with the cooked apples to add richness and enhance the flavor of the filling.
- Ground Cinnamon: Mixed with the diced apples and sugar to infuse the filling with warm, spicy notes.
- Granulated Sugar: To sweeten and caramelize the filling, creating a delicious contrast to the savory biscuit dough.
How To Make Air Fryer Apple Stuffed Donuts
Step One: Start by laying out your biscuits on a cutting board. Roll them out with a rolling pin, so you get a larger circle. Then cut your apples to get a nice but relatively thin slice to put into the dough.
Step Two: Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and put a tablespoon in the center of the apple.
Step Three: Wrap them up so you have a small bundle and place them into the air fryer basket as you make them. (Which should be sprayed with cooking spray so the donuts do not stick)
Step Four: Ser cook time for 7 minutes at 350 degrees F, air fryer setting. Place them on the cutting board to cool slightly as you remove them. Just cool enough so you can hold them, to dip them. Dip them into the butter. Then, dip them into the sugar/cinnamon mixture.
Air Fryer Stuffed Apple Donuts Recipe Tips
-
Use Firm Apples: Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the filling.
-
Prevent Leakage: Ensure the edges of the stuffed donuts are tightly sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
-
Don’t Overstuff: While it’s tempting to fill the donuts generously, be mindful not to overstuff them.
- Cook in Batches: Depending on your air fryer basket size, you may need to cook the donuts in batches to avoid overcrowding.
-
Brush with Butter: For extra flavor and shine, brush the cooked donuts with melted butter immediately after removing them from the air fryer.
