Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough. It will cause the fruit fritters to turn out dense.
  • Note that not all air fryers are the same, so yours may take a little less or a little more time to bake.
  • Cooking time will also vary depending on the size of the fruit fritters.
  • Fruit fritters are best consumed warm on the same day. Any leftovers will keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days
