FAST, VEGETARIAN
This is a great weekend breakfast recipe. These fritters are made with canned refrigerator biscuits plus apple pie filling, air fried to flaky perfection. You won’t believe how easily they come together.
MAKES 4 FRITTERS
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOK TIME: 12 to 14 minutes
BAKE: 325°F
1 can jumbo refrigerator biscuits
4 tablespoons canned apple pie filling
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 . Place a parchment liner in the air fryer basket.
2 . Remove the canned biscuits from the tube and roll out flat.
3 . Spoon 1 tablespoon of the apple pie filling into the centers of 4 biscuits.
4 . In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar, whisking with a fork to incorporate.
5 . Sprinkle about ⅛ teaspoon of the cinnamon and sugar mixture on top of the pie filling in each biscuit.
6 . Fold over one side of each biscuit to form a half circle. Press the dough together to seal it closed.
7 . Brush the dough with melted butter and sprinkle with more of the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
8 . Place the fritters on the liner in the fryer basket.
9 . Bake for 8 minutes.
10 . Flip the fritters, brush with a little more butter, and sprinkle with more of the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
11 . Bake for an additional 4 to 6 minutes, depending on how brown you like your fritters, and serve.
Variation tip: If you don’t want to use canned apple pie filling, you can chop one or two apples and toss them with a double batch of the cinnamon and sugar mixture. The apples will be a little firmer than the pie filling after baking, but every bit as delicious.
Ingredient tip: Because the canned refrigerator biscuits come in a tube of eight, you can either make four fritters and save the remaining biscuit dough for another recipe or, because you will also likely have remaining pie filling in the can, you can make all eight and save the leftover fritters to be enjoyed the next day.
