Air Fryer Apple Fritters

Everyone loves apples, especially as the fall weather starts to sneak upon us. I love using fresh apples in almost everything. There is something magical about the aroma of diced apples, melted butter, and ground cinnamon filling your kitchen. Today, I present to you Air Fryer Apple Fritters.

These pair really well as a fall afternoon snack with a cup of hot cider or a hot cup of coffee.

These are so simple, that they make a perfect afternoon snack. Next week, I am going to make the homemade version, so stay tuned if you are looking for those.

So, if you never heard of an apple fritter, or even a fritter before, here is some great information, which will acquaint you with the fritter.

What Exactly Is A Fritter?

A fritter is typically a dough, that is stuffed with some sort of fruit add-ins and then deep-fried in oil. They are really popular as fried doughnuts in the south. Fritters are typically served with a glaze. They make a mean breakfast in the South with a hot cup of coffee.

What Apples Should I Use for Air Fryer Apple Fritters?

The first step is to peel, then dice your apple. You can use almost any apple, the best ones are really Honey Crisp, Granny Smith, or just plain old McIntosh Apples.

Tips For Making Apple Fritters in the Air Fryer.

1. Do not overcrowd the basket, as they will not cook evenly.
2. Generously spray your air fryer basket, so the fritters do not stick.
3. Brush them halfway with some more butter, to make them really, really good.
4. Let them cool before icing them, otherwise, the icing will just melt off.

Here Are the Ingredients Needed For This Recipe:

Fritters:

• Jumbo Buttermilk Biscuits
• 2 apple, diced
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• Melted butter

Icing:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 3-4 tablespoons milk (more if needed)

Start by dicing your apples.

Add all of the diced apples to a medium sized mixing bowl.

Then cut up your biscuits, I cut each biscuit into 9 pieces.

Add the sugar and ground cinnamon, to the diced biscuits and diced apples. Mix well.

Use your hands to shape the biscuits into balls about 3 inches wide, then use your hands to flatten them.

Place the apple fritters into an air fryer basket that has been sprayed with olive oil. Brush the tops of the fritters with melted butter. Set the temperature to 330 degrees F (air fryer setting) for 7-9 minutes. Tip: I opened the air fryer at the halfway point and brushed more melted butter on.

Drizzle with icing (see recipe card for instructions). Plate, serve, and enjoy!
