Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1½ cups plain flour (180g)
  • ¼ cup white sugar (50g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ teaspoons cinnamon powder

Wet Ingredients:

  • ⅓ cup full-fat milk (80ml)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (unsalted)

Additional:

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped (yields about 2¾ cups or 335g)
  • 1 cup icing sugar (120g)
  • 3 tablespoons full-fat milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted (unsalted)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Dry and Wet Ingredients
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

    In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.

  2. Step 2: Combine the Mixtures and Add Apples
    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Add the butter, then stir everything together. Gently fold in the apples.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the Air Fryer
    If necessary, preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Line the basket with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
  4. Step 4: Cook the Fritters
    Scoop portions of the batter into the air fryer and cook at 375°F for 8 minutes, then flip and cook for 3 more minutes.
  5. Step 5: Prepare the Glaze
    Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Add butter to complete the glaze.
  6. Step 6: Glaze and Serve the Fritters
    Dip the fritters in the glaze and place on a wire rack to set. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can add a dash of nutmeg or allspice to the dry ingredients.
  • Ensure the fritters are not overcrowded in the air fryer basket to allow even cooking.
  • These fritters are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a day.
