Apple Fritters (A-F)

See the note on cooking spray here.

The Fritters:

• 2.5 oz. (0.5 cup) all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp. sugar
• 0.5 tsp. baking powder
• 0.5 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 Tbsp. milk
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 1 tsp. lemon juice
• 0.5 tsp. vanilla extract, divided
• 1 medium Honeycrisp apple, peeled and diced small

The Glaze:

• 2 Tbsp. butter
• 0.5 cup confectioner's sugar
• 2 tsp. milk

Pre-heat your air fryer to 400°F.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk in the milk, eggs, lemon juice, and 0.5 tsp. vanilla, saving two drops; Do not over–mix. Fold in the apple.

Spritz the fryer basket and drop the dough by 0.25 cupfuls, 2 inches apart into the bottom of the basket. Spritz the fritters and cook until the fritters are golden brown, 4–5 minutes.

Turn the fritters, spritz them again, and continue to air-fry until golden brown, 2–3 minutes.

For the glaze, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Carefully cook until the butter starts to brown and foam, about 5 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool slightly. Add the confectioner's sugar, 1 tsp. milk and the remaining two drops of vanilla extract to the browned butter and whisk this until it's smooth.

Drizzle the glaze over the fritters before serving.
