Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by peeling, coring, and dicing your apples (Fuji or Honeycrisp) into ½ inch pieces.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.
  6. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the fritter batter into the air fryer basket.
  7. Air fry the fritters at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
  8. Once slightly cooled, transfer the fritters to a serving plate and dust them generously with powdered sugar.
