Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by peeling, coring, and dicing 2-3 apples into half-inch pieces. Set the diced apples aside in a bowl.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1½ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, ½ cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  4. Gently fold the prepared diced apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  5. Set your air fryer to preheat at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
  6. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the air fryer basket, leaving space between each spoonful.
  7. Air fry the fritters for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  8. Once cooked, dust the fritters generously with powdered sugar while they are still warm.
