How to Serve Tasty Air Fryer Apple Fritters
These fritters are fab on their own, but you can level up by sprinkling some powdered sugar on top. Feeling fancy? Drizzle some caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat! 🎉 Don’t forget to snap a pic for the ‘Gram; it’s a requirement nowadays, right?
How to Store Tasty Air Fryer Apple Fritters
If you somehow have leftovers (though I wouldn’t count on it!), store the fritters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can pop them in the fridge for about a week or freeze them for up to a month. Reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to make them crispy again. Trust me, they’ll taste just like freshly made! 🙌
Tips to Make Tasty Air Fryer Apple Fritters
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture. They hold up well and add a lovely tartness.
- Don’t skip the cinnamon; it’s the secret ingredient that brings that warm, cozy flavor.
- If you want them sweeter or different, experiment with flavors! Add a pinch of nutmeg or even some vanilla extract.
Variation
Feeling adventurous? Swap out the apples for pears or even add in some chocolate chips for a little extra fun. Who said fritters can’t be exciting? 💃
FAQs
Q: Can I use whole wheat flour?
A: Absolutely! Whole wheat flour adds a nutty flavor but might give a slightly different texture. Just make sure to adjust the liquid a little if the batter looks too thick.

A: Not as they stand, but you can use a flax egg and plant-based milk to give them a vegan twist!
Q: What if I don’t have an air fryer?
A: No worries! You can bake these in the oven at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes. Just make sure you keep an eye on them!
