Creating these Crispy Air Fryer Churro Bites is easier than you might think! Follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a saucepan, combine water, butter, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
2. Add Flour: Once the mixture boils, remove it from the heat and quickly stir in the flour until a ball forms.
3. Cool Slightly: Allow the dough to cool for about 5 minutes.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (187°C).
6. Pipe the Dough: Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe small bites directly onto a parchment-lined tray or into the air fryer basket, making sure they are spaced apart.
7. Spray with Cooking Spray: Lightly spray the churro bites with cooking spray to enhance crispiness.
8. Cook: Place in the air fryer and cook for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
9. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup granulated sugar with cinnamon.
10. Coat the Bites: Once cooked, immediately toss the churro bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat them thoroughly.

By following these steps, you’ll easily create a batch of delightful churro bites.
