Ingredients
Butter Flavor Refrigerated Biscuits: Look for a brand that puffs up nicely and offers a buttery taste.
Cherry Pie Filling: Choose a filling that's rich in fruit and not overly sweetened to balance flavors.
Powdered Sugar: A fine, lump-free sugar will create a smooth glaze.
Milk: A little goes a long way; full-fat milk will give the glaze richness.
Vanilla Extract: Pure extract will provide a warm, full-bodied vanilla flavor.
How to Make
To make the Air Fryer Cherry Fritters, split biscuits in half to form rounds. Line the air fryer basket with parchment and place the biscuits dough side down.
Spoon a little cherry pie filling onto each round. Cook in batches at 390°F for 5-6 minutes until biscuits start to brown.
Once cooled slightly, make vanilla glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the milk amount for thicker or thinner consistency as preferred.
Drizzle glaze generously over warm fritters. Enjoy these easy-baked treats that require just 10 minutes total in the air fryer.
Tips
Here are some tips for making these the best cherry fritters!
- Preheat your air fryer for a consistent cooking temperature.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
- Let the fritters cool slightly before glazing to prevent the sugar from melting away.
- If the glaze is too thick, add milk a teaspoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
- Serve the fritters warm for the best flavor and texture.
- You can sub out the cherry pie filling for whatever your favorite pie filling flavor is.
- If you can find lemon flavored biscuits, you can swap out the biscuits for these for a yummy lemon cherry (or blueberry!) fritter.
Leftovers
These are definitely best when they are fresh out of the air fryer. If you end up with too many, here are some ways to store it for later:
Counter: Best enjoyed fresh, but you can keep them at room temperature for a day.
Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Warm them up in the air fryer for a few minutes to bring back some of the freshness and warmth.
