Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted unsalted butter until smooth.
  4. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the diced apples ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, checking for a golden-brown color and toothpick coming out clean.
  8. While baking, whisk confectioners' sugar, additional milk, and vanilla extract for the glaze.
  9. Drizzle the glaze over fritters once cooled slightly and serve warm.
