300gApplescrisp variety, chopped into bite-sized chunks
120gAll-purpose flour
50gSugar
1tspCinnamon
1gSaltpinch
1tspBaking powder
1largeEgg
60mlMilkor plant-based milk
1tspVanilla extract
30gButteror neutral oil for frying
Instructions
Start by washing, peeling if desired, and chopping the apples into small, bite-sized chunks.
In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the egg with milk and vanilla, then combine this with the dry mix to create a thick batter.
Fold in the apple pieces until they’re well coated, then shape spoonfuls into compact bites.
For Air Fryer: preheat to 190°C. Lightly spray the basket with oil to avoid sticking. Place the bites in a single layer and cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
For Oven: preheat to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment and lightly spray or oil it. Bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping once halfway, until the coating is crisp.
Let them rest for a minute before serving to help set the coating.
Notes
Tip: For a creamy dip, pair with vanilla yogurt or caramel drizzle.
