I too am on WW. Instead of sugar, use Splenda or other similar sweetener. That will put you down to 3SPs or fritter. Add 1 SO if you glaze it but keep it at 3 with just a dusting of powdered sugar. 🙂

The dough is pretty sticky! I am glad that they work so well for your diet too! I’m not familiar with the “new” WW, but have you tried substituting low or no-fat Greek yogurt?

I just made these for the first time. I am on Weight Watchers and just reading the ingredients I figured it would be low in points. I was right only 4 sp for 1 fritter with no glaze. The only issue I had was that trying to knead them they were a little sticky. I just added a little more of the flour a little at a time till it reached a dough like consistence. Thank you for sharing this recipe. It is now saved and I will make them again. I have already shared the recipe with family members.

Glad you enjoyed them and the substitution worked out so well!

Fantastic recipe! I just made a batch substituting Greek yogurt with Kite Hill plain almond milk yogurt. The apples work wonders for controlling the moisture of the doughnut. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful recipe!

The dough is supposed to be sticky. You can add more sugar and apple if you wish. Technically, they are a large biscuit. The gal who makes my videos got the same results as I did, so I can’t figure out how come yours differed so radically.

Well, we just ried these and did they turn out as in the video? Not so much! Prepared the dough as shown in the video as well as the recipe, to the “t”. The dough turned out so-o-o-o sticky as to be unmanagable. we added some flour to stiffen things up a bit. Sprayed oil on them and cooked as directed on parchment paper, 7 minutes on one side, re-oiled and cooked for 6-7 minutes more. They looked like large tan biscuits. But we forged on. Applied the glaze and took a bite.
They tasted ok, but needed a bit more sweetness as well as apples. If we try them again, they will be flattened out more than what we did in the first go-around.
As for the picture? Not even close. Disappointed in the results.

These are so easy, you can enjoy them daily!!! I’m glad to hear that regular yogurt worked out well. It doesn’t really matter if you can’t knead them–dropping works just as well. I do that all the time for regular donuts. Next I’m going to try these with a prepared apple pie filling (I’ll cut the apples really fine or food process them) to see if that works because then you don’t have to have fresh apples on hand.

Thank you. I love these.I read this recipe many times and I missed “Greek” yogurt. I used plain regular yogurt. I couldn’t knead it but I put four globs in the basket with oil on top. Also, I put the parchment paper in the bottom of the fryer not the basket although I oiled the top and bottom of the basket. After 8 minutes on one side which I did put a lot of avocado oil on, I realized I should have put the fritters on the paper. I have two air fryers so I put the parchment paper in the other basket then the fritters and oiled them on this side. After another 6 minutes they were done. I only used 1/2 c of confectioners sugar for the glaze. They were crispy. The apples were perfect. I will make them again. I want to eat the other two but I will try to leave them for my son. I love my air fryers. Thank you again for this recipe.

If you can get a Greek-style yogurt that’s non dairy, it would probably work. I’m not sure if regular-style yogurts would in this. Greek yogurt is often substituted for sour cream so if there is a non-dairy version of sour cream, I guess you’d be OK with that. Funny but the lady who originally made these used almond milk in the glaze so that will work.I used macintosh in these but granny smiths would work too.
