Air Fryer Apple Fritters With Cider Glaze

Enjoy this classic fall treat without the hassle of deep frying. The secret to getting that crispy exterior and soft interior is adding a little cornstarch to the batter. After they come out of the air fryer, drizzle the fritters with a delicious apple cider glaze. They are best eaten immediately!

Preparation

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, brown sugar, baking powder, 1½ teaspoons cinnamon, and the salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until smooth. Fold in the diced apples.
  5. Place a parchment paper round (or square) in the bottom of the air fryer.
  6. Dollop about ¼ cup of batter onto the lined air fryer basket. Add more batter to fill the basket, but do not overcrowd. Spray the tops of the fritters with nonstick spray. Fry for 6 minutes, then flip, spritz with nonstick spray again, and cook for 4 minutes more, until crispy. Remove from the air fryer and repeat with the remaining batter.
  7. Make the glaze: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, remaining ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of apple cider. Stir until smooth, adding more apple cider to reach your desired consistency.
  8. Drizzle the glaze over the hot fritters and serve immediately.
  9. Enjoy!
