Description

Discover how to make healthy air fryer apple fritters that are both delicious and guilt-free! These crispy yet tender fritters are perfect for autumn gatherings or cozy evenings. Made with wholesome ingredients and cooked in the air fryer, they are a quick and nutritious fall dessert your family will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large apples (preferably Fuji or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour or almond flour for a healthier twist
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup as a natural sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon, for warmth and flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs or flax eggs for a vegan option
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
  • Optional: crushed nuts or oats for added crunch

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and diced apples with 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Toss well to evenly coat, then set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Add in the eggs and coconut oil, stirring until smooth. Gently fold in the coated apple pieces.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form small batches of batter and place them into the air fryer basket, spacing them apart. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through. For extra crunch, sprinkle with crushed nuts or oats before baking.

Notes

  • Ensure apples are evenly coated for uniform fritters.
  • Using almond flour makes the recipe gluten-free and more nutritious.
  • Sprinkle with extra nuts or oats before cooking for added texture.
  • Adjust cooking time based on the size of fritters and your air fryer model.
