  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry mixture, stirring gently.
  5. Fold in the diced apples until evenly coated with the batter.
  6. Preheat the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes and grease the basket.

  9. Transfer the fritters to a cooling rack, dust with powdered sugar, and enjoy!
