Air Fryer Apple Fritters
by Jessie Daye
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup Powdered Sugar
- ¼ cup Butter (½ stick)
- ½ tsp Vanilla bean paste
- Pinch of salt
- 1-2 Tbsp Milk (check thickness after 1 tsp.)
Method
- In a small sauce pan over medium heat melt your butter and allow to brown for 2-3 minutes until it’s foamy and golden brown. Stir your butter occasionally so it does not burn. It should have a nice buttery nutty aroma. Remove from heat and add powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and pinch of salt. Stir until combined and thickened. You can add 1 or 2 teaspoons of milk to thin out the sauce to your preference. Set aside.
- Allow Preheat air fryer to 400 F for 3-4 minutes so the tray or basket is hot.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, kosher salt, and cinnamon.
- Add milk, lemon juice, vanilla, and both eggs. Whisk until evenly combined, and fold in the diced apples.
- Carefully line your preheated air fryer with a piece of parchment paper and scoop about ¼ cup of the batter onto your lined air fryer basket or sheet pan. Depending on the size of your air fryer you may only be able to fit 3-4 fritters at a time.
- Lightly dab the tops of the fritters with oil and bake at 400 degrees for 4-5 minutes or until fritters are golden brown. Flip fritters over and bake for another 4-5 minutes.
- Place apple fritters on a cooling rack and drizzle with brown butter glaze while still warm. These soften pretty quickly once glazed ( they are not fried) so eat immediately!
