Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 375℉.
In a bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Toss to ensure the apples are coated.
Add flour, baking powder, and salt into the bowl, and stir to mix thoroughly.
Incorporate the blended cottage cheese and mix using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. Once a dough ball forms, knead in the bowl with your hands.
Lightly flour a surface, turn out the dough, and divide it into 4 pieces.
Shape 2 pieces into round fritters on parchment paper, pressing down gently.
Air fry at 375℉ for 4 minutes, flip, and air fry for another 4 minutes until fully cooked. Repeat with remaining dough.
For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar and almond milk in a bowl until combined.
When the fritters are ready, dip each into the glaze, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Make sure to coat the apples well with sugar and cinnamon for maximum flavor.
Feel free to add nuts or raisins to the dough for extra texture.
Serve warm for the best taste experience.
