Ingredients
  

Fritters

  • 2 ½ cup flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon clove
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoon salted butter (melted)
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • 4 apples (honey crisp or granny smith)
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

Maple Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoon milk

Instructions
 

Fritters

  • Peel, core and dice your apples. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl mix your eggs, sugar, butter, and buttermilk. Then add your flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove, and salt. Mix until combined.
  • Add your apples and mix until combined.
  • Line a cookie sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper. Using a table spoon, dollop your fritter batter on your cookie sheet, making about 24 fritters. Place in the freezer for at least 3 hours.
  • Once chilled, get your air fryer ready. Brush some vegetable oil on the wire rack of your air fryer as well as on the bottoms of your fritters. Place your fritters (oil side down) in your air fryer. Brush the top of each fritter with a little more oil. Make sure to space them out and do them in batches. Do not pile them on top of each other. Keep the other ones waiting in the freezer.
  • Turn your air fryer to 400 degrees and fry your fritters for 10 minutes. Then flip over your fritters, brush the tops with a little vegetable oil, and fry again for 8 minutes.
  • Take out your fritters and place on a wire rack. Continue with the remaining batches. I recommend frying them fresh as you eat them for the best, crunchiest result.

Maple Glaze

  • In a small bowl add your sugar, maple syrup, milk and whisk.
  • Pour as much glaze as you desire over your fritters.
  • Serve and enjoy!
