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!
