Ingredients
Dry Ingredients

- 2.5 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt

Apples
- 3 large apples Peeled, cleaned, and chopped.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 400F for 5 minutes.
- Peel, clean, and chop the 3 apples. Mix them with the juice of 1/2 lemon and the butter. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice.
- In another bowl, gently beat the eggs. Stir in the vanilla, and then gently fold in the chopped apples.
- Mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. If the batter is too thick, thin it with a little milk.
Cooking
- Use a spoon to drop heaping spoonfuls of batter onto the preheated air fryer basket.
- Spray the tops with coconut oil spray for extra crispiness.
- Air fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, then allow to cool for a few minutes before glazing if desired.
Notes
These apple fritters are delicious on their own, but you can serve them with powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
