  • cooking spray
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup milk

Directions

  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.
