Ingredients
  

  • 2 large apples
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • string cooking spray or olive oil
  • string powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples and apple cider. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to infuse the apple flavor.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the apple mixture and stir gently to combine. Then, gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding carefully just until fully incorporated.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 350 for about 5 minutes.
  • Using a scoop or 0.25 cup measuring cup, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into your air fryer basket.
  • Lightly spray or brush the fritters with cooking spray or olive oil. Air fry the fritters in batches for about 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown, flipping halfway through.
  • Once done, transfer the fritters to a wire rack to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
  • Enjoy your Crispy Cider Apple Air Fried Fritters warm!
