Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, applesauce, milk, and vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Line the basket with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Scoop about ¼ cup of batter per fritter and place in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each. Cook for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes until golden brown.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the warm fritters.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Freeze cooled fritters without glaze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the air fryer and glaze before serving. Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or cardamom for a unique twist.
