If you have been looking to make the BEST Cruller donut in your air fryer, this is the recipe with you, and in minutes, you can have a great breakfast, dessert, or afternoon treat!

The truth is that baking has never been better than with your Air Fryer. The dough is light, fluffy, and tender. The hot air which circulates around the Air Fryer Basket cooks these up perfectly…to complete perfection!

So, whether you own an Air Fryer Basket, Air Fryer Oven, Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, or even the Mealthy Lid, you can bake up a perfect batch; in minutes!

I love a homemade batch of Air Fryer Donuts, and over the years, I have made a lot of donuts. Some of my favorites are AIR FRYER BAKED VANILLA DONUTS, AIR FRYER NUTELLA DONUTS, AIR FRYER APPLE FRITTERS, and AIR FRYER BANANA DONUTS.

What Are French Crullers?

They are a great type of donuts, which comes to us from the Dutch. They are typically made with pate a choux dough instead of traditional yeast dough.

The result is a very light and air donut, which does very well in the Air Fryer. Since the air fryer works with circulating hot air around the basket, it bakes up the Air Fryer French Apple Pie Crullers to perfection.

Choux dough is usually made by heating the dough and then simmering until a soft dough forms.

Pro Tips:

  • This recipe will work in any Air Fryer Basket or Oven Model. The cooking time may change by a few minutes, so remember to keep on watching your Air Fryer French Apple Pie Crullers as they cook up.
  • Use a piece of parchment paper if you find that the dough is sticking to the basket.
  • The dough is very sticky, so you might need to add additional flour to shape your dough.
  • There is nothing better than a fresh batch of Air Fryer French Apple Pie Crullers so serve them warm after glazing them. (The recipe is in the comments)

How To Store Air Fryer French Apple Pie Crullers

While these are best served right after making them if you have any leftovers let them cool to room temperature and wrap them in saran wrap. They will last at room temperature for about 1 to 2 days.

You can also warm them up right before serving in either the microwave or air fryer.
