The air fryer takes all the work our of making fresh fritters at home. Warm and toasty, they're perfect dipped in custard.
Preparation time - 20 minutes
Cooking time - 30 minutes
Makes - 10
What you will need:
- 225g (1 1/2 cups) self-raising flour
- Pinch of salt
- 100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 125ml (1/2 cup) apple juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2 pink lady apples, unpeeled, coarsely grated
- 50g butter, melted
- Vanilla custard, to serve
How it's made:
Combine the flour salt, 50g sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre. Whisk the juice, vanilla and eggs in a jug until well combined. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture. Stir until just combined (do not overmix). Stir in the apple.
Line the base of an air fryer basket with baking paper. Spoon 60ml (1/4 cup) of the batter onto the baking paper (depending on the size of your air fryer, you may fit 2 or 3 fritters at a time - do not overcrowd the pan, as they will expand while cooking). Spray with oil. Bake for 5 minutes at 200C. Turn fritters. Bake for a further 5 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
While the fritters are cooking, combine the remaining 50g sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Remove the fritters from the air fryer. Brush all over with melted butter. Dip fritters, one at a time, in cinnamon sugar. Turn to coat.
Serve the fritter immediately with custard, to dip.
