Ingredients

  1. cooking spray
  2. 1 cup all-purpose flour
  3. ¼ cup white sugar
  4. ¼ cup milk
  5. 1 egg
  6. 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  7. 1 pinch salt
  8. 2 tablespoons white sugar
  9. ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  10. 1 apple – peeled, cored, and chopped
  11. ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
  12. 1 tablespoon milk
  13. ½ teaspoon caramel extract (such as Watkins™)
  14. ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a parchment paper round into the bottom of the air fryer. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Mix flour, 1/4 cup sugar, milk, egg, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl. Stir until combined.
  3. Mix 2 tablespoons sugar with cinnamon in another bowl and sprinkle over apples until coated. Mix apples into the flour mixture until combined.
  4. Drop fritters using a cookie scoop onto the bottom of the air fryer basket.
  5. Air-fry in the preheated fryer for 5 minutes. Flip fritters and cook until golden, about 5 minutes more.
  6. Meanwhile, mix confectioners’ sugar, milk, caramel extract, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Transfer fritters to a cooling rack and drizzle with glaze.
  7. I recommend using a Jonagold apple.

Deborah Rodriguez
Very easy quick and delicious. Next time I will make them smaller, my airfyer doesn’t hold four. If you replace the milk in the glaze with same enough of applesauce its great.
Sarah Sanders
My fritters turned out looking like a plumped up pancake. I obviously did something wrong, but I went exactly by the recipe!
Leslie Hayden
These were delicious, with some changes: I used 2 apples instead of 1. I added 2 teas of Penzey’s Vietnamese cinnamon (the extra strong cinnamon), 1/2 teas nutmeg, and 1/2 teas cloves. Based on a regular apple fritter recipe, I melted 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet, and sauteed the apple/cinnamon/sugar mixture for 6 minutes with a lid on the skillet. Then I let that cool before adding it to the batter. I had never had apple fritters before, and these were amazing! I really liked having the glaze on them. I also found that they needed more time in the air fryer to get done and brown slightly on both sides. I’ll definitely make this again! Thanks!

My family thought these were great. I was more liberal with the cinnamon and added nutmeg for extra spice.
Lynn Eaton
Good and simple!

It took some adjusting on the recipe and I raised the temperature so it would crisp up on the outside. I added extra milk to make the batter consistency right. I didn’t have caramel flaveoring so I used almond instead which is a little strong. I’m thinking cinnamon was enough and flavoring should be optional.
Stephen Lyons
This is an easy recipe!! Everything came out great. Just for my taste, I added a little more sugar to the batter. I thought the glaze was the common confectioners sugar recipe. While I was waiting om my final batch to finish I re-read the entire recipe and found thete was a different glaze. I’ll try the glaze instead of confectioners sugar next time.
Allen Blake
These were pretty good. Very quick and easy to make. I did add a bit more cinnamon.
Dustin Jackson
As good as store bought – I substituted honey for the caramel in the glaze. It was delicious. Next time I’ll try maple syrup, but otherwise, this was a perfect recipe.
Ronald Lucas
More like a muffin batter. Tastes fine, but not a the fritter consistency one would hope for.

Bland These cooked great in the air fryer but they were very bland. You can’t really taste the apple or cinnamon. The glaze ratio was very off with way too much milk. Don’t use 1/2 cup. They were edible, but I won’t be making these again.
Andrew Jones
They were good .. Didnt really need the glaze .
Robin Carr
Liquid to dry ratio wAs way off even for an airfrier. I added more milk but it just wasn’t the right consistency for fritters. Will not make again.
Nathaniel Campbell
Neither my husband nor I cared for this at all. I just got my air fryer so maybe I’m just not used to it yet. The taste was off–maybe too much flour and not enough apple, but I followed the recipe as written. Sorry, but I won’t be making this again.
Ryan Chavez
I didn’t have the Carmel it wanted, so my sauce wasn’t right (I used vanilla instead) and I thought it tasted better without it. With that said, I started off trying to do what she said and put it in my air fryer, maybe I’m just not talented enough or my air fryer isn’t large enough, so I gave up and cooked in my oven. Tastes great, very filling, I’ll make it again, but definitely skipping the air fryer!
Laura Johnson
I added a little more milk because the dough was too stiff and used less sugar. I will make it again.
