Notes
Note: Nutritional information does not include glaze.
If the dough seems too dry or is falling apart, add a teaspoon of milk (more if needed) to make the batter more workable.
Test one fritter before air frying the whole batch. This will help to determine the best length of time and temperature your air fryer requires.
Let the fritters cool completely on a wire baking rack before storing.
Store apple fritters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
