How long does it take to fry fritters in the air fryer?

For these gluten free air fryer apple fritters I air fried them at 380 degrees for 5 minutes on one side and then flipped them and air fried them at 380 degrees for 3 minutes more. It is really important to flip them! If you don't flip them they will be over done on one side and under done on the other side. Flipping the donuts gives them a nice golden brown color on both sides.

Can I air fry donuts?

Yes! Using an air fryer instead of deep frying the donuts or fritters in oil is a much healthier way to make them. I like to spray a bit of oil on each side of the donuts to give them a nice texture but it just takes a little bit of oil. For these gluten free air fryer apple fritters I cut a sheet of parchment paper to fit into my air fryer basket. This keeps the donut dough from falling through the ventilation holes. The apple fritters will still get enough ventilation and will cook fine with the parchment paper.

Instructions

In a mixing bowl whisk together the gluten free flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, cinnamon and sea salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of your stand mixer add the brown sugar, milk, melted coconut oil, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla. Beat the ingredients until they are well combined.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat together until just combined.

Using a wooden spoon or spatula mix the apple chunks into the dough.

Line the basket of your air fryer with parchment paper.

Dollop the dough in about palm size fritters into the basket. I did four fritters a little bigger than my palm about one inch thick twice to cook these. Spray the top of the fritters with some olive or coconut oil.

At 380 degrees air fry the fritters for 7 minutes.

Flip the fritters over, spray this side with oil and then air fry at 380 degrees for 5 minutes more.

Immediately remove the apple fritters from the air fryer basket and move them to a cooling rack.

Repeat these cooking steps for the next four apple fritters.
