Who doesn’t love the classic combination of apples and cinnamon? If you’re craving a delicious and easy-to-make treat, look no further than apple fritter rings made in an air fryer. These golden-brown rings are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and filled with warm, cinnamon-infused apple slices. Not only are they quick to prepare, but they are also a healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried apple fritters.
Ingredients You’ll Need
To make these irresistible apple fritter rings, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 large apples
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- Oil spray
Instructions
Follow these steps to create delectable apple fritter rings:
- Start by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel and core the apples, then cut them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and egg.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Dip each apple ring into the batter, ensuring it is coated evenly.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the battered apple rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap.
- Cook the fritter rings in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the apple fritter rings from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
