Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 375℉.
In a bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Toss to coat the apple pieces.
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl and mix well.
Incorporate the blended cottage cheese into the mixture using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. Once a ball forms, knead the dough with your hands.
Lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out, cutting it into 4 pieces.
Place 2 apple fritters on parchment paper, pressing them into a traditional fritter shape (round).
Air fry the fritters at 375℉ for 4 minutes, then flip and continue frying for another 4 minutes. Repeat until all dough is cooked.
Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and almond milk in a bowl using a whisk.
Once the fritters are cooked, dip each into the glaze and place them on a wire cooling rack.
Allow a few minutes for the glaze to set before serving.

Notes

For a crispier fritter, make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer.
You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice.
Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg for extra flavor.
