Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease the basket with non-stick spray or a thin coat of oil.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the egg. Stir in milk, melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4: Fold in the Apples
Toss the diced apples with lemon juice. Gently fold them into the wet mixture.
Pour wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. (The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.)
Step 5: Cook the Fritters
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the air fryer basket, leaving space between each.
Air fry for 6 minutes, flip, then cook another 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Step 6: Glaze the Fritters
While fritters cool slightly, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Drizzle glaze over warm fritters and serve immediately.
