For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of nutmeg or allspice to the apple mixture. If you don't have caramel extract, vanilla extract can be substituted. Serve warm for the best experience. These fritters are delicious on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Cut a parchment paper round to fit the bottom of the air fryer basket. Lightly coat the parchment with cooking spray. (2 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, milk, egg, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Add the chopped apples and toss to coat evenly. Gently fold the coated apples into the flour mixture until just distributed. (5 minutes)
04
StepUsing a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded portions of the apple fritter batter onto the prepared parchment paper in the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd. (3 minutes)
05
StepAir fry for 5 minutes, then carefully flip the fritters. Continue to air fry for another 5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. (10 minutes)
06
StepWhile the fritters are cooking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk, caramel extract, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon until smooth. (3 minutes)
07
StepOnce the fritters are cooked, transfer them to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Drizzle generously with the caramel glaze. Allow the glaze to set slightly before serving. (4 minutes)

Apr 15, 2025I didn't have parchment paper, so I sprayed the basket directly with cooking spray. It worked just as well!

Dec 18, 2024My fritters turned out a little soggy. Any tips? (Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer and ensure the apples are finely chopped)
