Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 3 large apples
- ½ a lemon’s juice
Dry Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (360 milliliters) gluten-free flour
- ¼ cup (50 grams) brown sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
Wet and Additional Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter
- 1 tablespoon almond milk
- ½ cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the air fryer by heating it to 400°F for a quick 5-minute warm-up, ensuring an optimal cooking environment.
- Carefully peel and dice the apples, then toss them with lemon juice to prevent browning. Melt the butter and coat the apple pieces thoroughly.
- Create a fragrant dry mixture by whisking together gluten-free flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice in a spacious mixing bowl.
- In a separate vessel, whisk the eggs until slightly frothy, then incorporate vanilla extract. Gently fold the butter-coated apple pieces into this liquid foundation.
- Delicately combine the dry and wet ingredients, stirring until just incorporated. If the batter appears overly dense, introduce a splash of milk to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Using a spoon, carefully deposit generous dollops of the apple-laden batter into the preheated air fryer basket. Lightly mist the top with coconut oil spray to enhance crispiness and golden color.
- Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes, then cautiously flip and continue air frying until they achieve a beautiful golden-brown exterior and tender interior.
- Allow the fritters to rest and cool for a few minutes, helping them set and develop a perfect texture.
- For those desiring an extra touch of sweetness, whisk almond milk and powdered sugar into a silky glaze. Once the fritters have cooled, elegantly drizzle the glaze over the top, creating a tempting finish.
Notes
- Gather all ingredients beforehand to streamline your baking adventure.
- Ensure your air fryer is clean and ready for these delectable apple treats.
- Chop apples uniformly for consistent cooking and optimal texture.
