Course Dessert
Cuisine Baking
Keyword air fryer, apple pie
Prep Time 12 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 22 minutes
Servings 16 fritters

Ingredients

  • ¾ C sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger
  • 1 can of Pillsbury Grand Biscuits
  • 1 cup apple pie filling- chopped into small pieces - Alternatively follow this recipe for a homemade apple pie filling
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter- melted

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ground cloves, and ginger. Set that aside. Alternatively, use 1 Tbsp of apple pie spice.
  • Open the can of the biscuits and pull all 8 biscuits out. Pull each biscuit in half horizontally creating 16 biscuits.
  • Roll out each piece of dough with a rolling pin or flatten it with your hands.
  • Chop apple pie filling and place in a medium-sized bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the apple pie filling, and stir well to combine.
  • Place a spoonful of the apple cinnamon filling into the center of each circle of dough, leaving about ¼ inch around the edges.
  • Grab the edges and pinch them together to make small round balls, making sure your fritters are sealed completely.
  • In the air fryer add a piece of parchment paper with holes, or lightly brush the basket with cooking oil.
  • Place half of the apple bites seam-side up into the air fryer, making sure they do not touch.
  • Cook apple pie fritters in the air fryer on the bake setting or at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes, then carefully flip them over and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Repeat steps 7-9 until all the apple bites are golden brown.
  • Once cooked, coat each apple bite in the melted butter, then toss it into the combined sugar and spice mixture. Repeat until all of the apple bites are coated.
  • Fritters are best when enjoyed almost immediately. Make sure they cool slightly before consuming.
