Ingredients
Fritters:
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cardamom
3 tbsp maple syrup
2 large apples, diced small
Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp milk
How to Make Air Fryer Apple Fritters
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt.
Add the Greek yogurt and maple syrup. Using a spatula, stir together to combine.
Fold in the diced apples to form a thick fritter dough.
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F and lightly spray the basket with oil to prevent sticking.
Scoop about 1/4 cup mounds of batter into the air fryer basket, about 5 to 6 at a time depending on the size of your air fryer.
Air fry for 8 minutes. Then increase the temperature to 400°F and air fry for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the tops are deep golden brown.
While the fritters cook, make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and powdered sugar until smooth.
Once the fritters are cooked, drizzle the glaze over warm fritters and enjoy!
Variations and Substitutions
Flour: All-purpose flour works just as well if you do not have white whole wheat on hand.
Sweetener: Swap the maple syrup for honey in equal amounts.
Spices: Add a pinch of nutmeg alongside the cinnamon and cardamom for a little extra warmth.
Glaze: Stir a tiny splash of vanilla extract into the glaze for added depth of flavor.
Apples: Any baking apple works here. Honeycrisp, Fuji, and Gala are naturally sweet, while Granny Smith gives you a slightly tarter fritter.
Dairy free: Use a plain coconut or almond milk yogurt in place of Greek yogurt and a splash of non-dairy milk in the glaze.
How to Store Air Fryer Apple Fritters
Store leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, keep the glaze separate and drizzle it on after reheating. To freeze, place unglazed fritters in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen solid, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
To reheat, pop them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 2 to 3 minutes straight from the fridge, or 5 to 6 minutes from frozen. They crisp right back up like fresh.
How to Serve Air Fryer Apple Fritters
These air fryer apple fritters are best served warm, right after glazing. A few ways to enjoy them:
As a fall breakfast or brunch alongside scrambled eggs and coffee
As a lighter dessert with a small scoop of vanilla yogurt or ice cream
As an after-school snack the whole family will reach for
On a holiday brunch spread next to other seasonal favorites
A dusting of cinnamon sugar on top right before serving takes them over the top if you want to skip the glaze entirely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you air fry apple fritters?
Absolutely. Air frying apple fritters works beautifully and is actually one of the best ways to make them at home. The hot circulating air creates a crispy, golden exterior while keeping the inside soft and fluffy, no deep fryer or pot of oil required.
How long do you air fry apple fritters?
These air fryer apple fritters cook for 8 minutes at 350°F, then 1 to 2 more minutes at 400°F to get the tops deep golden brown. Total cook time is about 10 minutes per batch.
Can you bake or air fry apple fritters?
You can do both, but the air fryer gives you a much crispier result than the oven in less time. Baking tends to produce a softer, more cake-like texture. If you have an air fryer, it is the way to go for that classic fritter finish.
How do you make air fryer apple fritters?
Mix your dry ingredients, fold in Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and diced apples to form a thick batter, then scoop into a preheated air fryer and cook at 350°F for 8 minutes followed by 1 to 2 minutes at 400°F. Drizzle with a simple powdered sugar glaze and serve warm. Full instructions are in the recipe card above.
Is an apple fritter considered a donut?
Technically yes, apple fritters are a type of donut. Traditional versions are made from a yeasted or batter-based dough mixed with apple pieces and deep fried, just like a donut. This version skips the deep fry and uses Greek yogurt for a lighter, higher-protein take on the classic.
Can an air fryer make food taste like it has been fried?
It gets pretty close, especially with recipes like these air fryer apple fritters that are designed for the appliance from the start. The key is finishing at a higher temperature, not overcrowding the basket, and using a light spray of oil so the exterior gets that satisfying crisp.
Air Fryer Apple Fritters are a lightened-up twist on the classic fall favorite—crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, and made with wholesome ingredients. Each fritter packs 5g of protein and a boost of fiber for a more nourishing sweet treat. Perfect for a cozy breakfast, brunch, or healthier dessert made right in your air fryer!

2cupsUnsweetened, Shredded Coconut
2cupsPitted Dates
1/2cupSemi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1tspCoconut Oil

Scoop out tablespoon size portions of the mixture and form into a round cookie shape, pressing it into shape with your fingers. Place onto your sheet tray with the silpat or parchment from toasting the coconut. Continue to form cookies with the remaining mixture.*To make authentic Girl Scout Samosas, take a toothpick or small spatula handle and make a hole in the center of each cookie. You may need to press and shape the cookies to retain their shape.
Place the sheet tray into the freezer and freeze for 5 minutes to set the cookies shape.
Meanwhile, place the chocolate chips and coconut oil into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on 25 second intervals until the chocolate is fully melted, stirring in between each interval.

1/2 tsp Dry Active Yeast
1 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
1 1/4cupsWater (plus a tablespoon or two if needed)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl combine the flours, yeast and salt. Mix together with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Pour the water into the bowl and mix the dough together. It should be a shaggy dough. Remember it will rise while it sits!
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or dish towel. Place the bowl in a draft free area and allow to sit for at least 4 hours, up to 8 hours.
After dough has risen for at least 4 hours it is ready to roll out.
