Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 375℉.
In a bowl, combine diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon, tossing to coat the apple pieces.
Add flour, baking powder, and salt to the mixture, stirring to combine.
Incorporate the blended cottage cheese using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, kneading the dough once a ball begins to form.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and cut it into 4 pieces.
Shape 2 of the fritters on parchment paper into a traditional round fritter shape by pressing down.
Air fry the fritters at 375℉ for 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 4 minutes. Repeat until all the dough is cooked.
Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and almond milk in a bowl.
Dip the air-fried fritters into the glaze and let them set on a wire cooling rack.
Allow a few minutes for the glaze to set before serving.

Notes

Feel free to experiment by adding nuts or raisins for extra flavor.
For a crispy exterior, ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket when cooking. You may need to fry in batches.
These fritters can be served warm or at room temperature for enjoyment.
