Making Crispy Air Fryer Churro Bites is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to create your delicious churros:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for your churro dough.

2. Prepare the Dough: In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and vanilla extract. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

4. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the saucepan, stirring vigorously until a dough forms.

5. Cool the Dough: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the dough cool for about 5 minutes.

6. Shape the Churros: Transfer the dough into a piping bag with a large star tip. Pipe small, bite-sized churro shapes onto parchment paper.

7. Air Fry the Bites: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the churro bites in a single layer and cook for 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy.

8. Mix Sugar and Cinnamon: While the churros are cooking, combine ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.

9. Coat the Bites: Once finished, immediately toss the churro bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture for a sweet coating.

10. Serve Warm: Let the churro bites cool slightly. Serve immediately for the best taste.

These steps will ensure that your Crispy Air Fryer Churro Bites come out perfectly!
