Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups (360 milliliters/12 fl oz) gluten-free flour
- 3 large apples
- 2 tbsps (28 grams) butter
- ¼ cup (50 grams) brown sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2.5 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1 tbsp almond milk
- ½ cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
- ½ a lemon’s juice
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes, creating an ideal cooking environment for golden, crisp fritters.
- Apple Preparation: Peel and dice apples, tossing with lemon juice to prevent discoloration. Melt butter and thoroughly coat apple pieces, ensuring even flavor distribution.
- Dry Mixture Creation: Combine gluten-free flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice in a mixing bowl, whisking to blend dry ingredients uniformly.
- Liquid Foundation: Whisk eggs until slightly frothy, adding vanilla extract. Gently incorporate butter-coated apple pieces into the egg mixture, creating a rich, aromatic base.
- Batter Assembly: Merge dry and wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Adjust consistency with a splash of milk if the batter seems too thick, aiming for a smooth, pourable texture.
- Cooking Process: Spoon batter into the preheated air fryer basket, lightly misting with coconut oil spray to promote crispy, golden exteriors. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then carefully flip to ensure even browning and complete cooking.
- Cooling and Glazing: Allow fritters to rest briefly, helping them set. For added indulgence, whisk almond milk and powdered sugar into a silky glaze, elegantly drizzling over the cooled fritters to create a tantalizing finishing touch.
Notes
- Preheat Perfectly: Heating air fryer to 400°F ensures crispy exterior and even cooking for delightful fritters.
- Prevent Apple Browning: Tossing diced apples with lemon juice maintains fresh color and prevents oxidation during preparation.
- Achieve Smooth Batter: Adding milk helps adjust batter consistency, preventing dense or dry fritters that could compromise texture.
- Glaze Gracefully: Drizzling almond milk and powdered sugar glaze adds extra sweetness and creates an elegant, professional finish to the fritters.
