Scrapple is typically served as a breakfast side dish and it’s very popular in South America. Scrapple, also known by the Dutch name Pannhaas or “pan rabbit,” is traditionally a mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and wheat flour (often buckwheat flour), and spices. While you can cook it using several different methods, here is how to cook scrapple in the air fryer.
What Does Scrapple Taste Like?
When scrapple is perfectly cooked, it becomes crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It has a savory sausage flavor that pairs well with such condiments as ketchup, maple syrup, applesauce, or apple butter.
Can Scrapple Be Frozen?
Yes, it can! To freeze it, place it in an airtight container, label the container with the time and date you cooked it and place it in the freezer. Once the scrapple is in an airtight container, it will last 3 to 6 months in the freezer.
If your scrapple is not cooked, you can store it using the same method in the freezer. Raw scrapple can last in the freezer for 6 months to a year.
Can You Cook Scrapple in the Air Fryer?
Absolutely, yes you can! In fact, cooking scrapple in the air fryer is one of the best methods of cooking it. If you want to make a delicious breakfast and you only have a few minutes, cooking scrapple in the air fryer is a great option.
The air fryer is easier than using the oven or deep-fryer because you won’t have to wait for an oven or oil to preheat. Meanwhile, if you are using an air fryer, you can just place your food inside, set your temperature and time, and allow it to cook. You also won’t need to add oil when you are cooking the scrapple.
How to Cook Scrapple in the Air Fryer
- Cut the scapple into slices, about ½ inch thick.
- Place a few slices into the air fryer basket, making sure that you don’t overcrowd the basket.

- Serve and enjoy!
