Ingredients
Fritters
- 16 ounces Butter Flavor Refrigerated Biscuits (1 can)
- 28 ounces cherry pie filling (1 can)
Glaze
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 Tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the biscuits: Split the refrigerated biscuits in half to create 16 biscuit rounds, which will form the base of each fritter.
- Line the air fryer: Place parchment paper inside the basket or tray of the air fryer to prevent sticking, then arrange the biscuit halves evenly on top.
- Add cherry filling: Spoon a small amount of cherry pie filling onto each biscuit round, being careful not to overfill to prevent spilling during cooking.
- Air fry the fritters: Cook the fritters in the air fryer at 390°F (approximately 200°C) for 5 to 6 minutes per batch, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the vanilla glaze: While the fritters cool slightly, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and the powdered sugar dissolves, forming a pourable glaze.
- Glaze and serve: Drizzle the vanilla glaze generously over the warm cherry fritters and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Use parchment paper designed for air fryers to avoid any fire hazards or damage to the appliance.
- Adjust the amount of milk in the glaze to achieve your desired thickness—use less milk for a thicker glaze and more for a thinner drizzle.
- For a crispier texture, you can cook the fritters for an additional 1-2 minutes, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- These fritters are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
