Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and optional nutmeg until well incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted unsalted butter, and eggs, whisking until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the peeled, cored, and diced apples into the batter using a spatula.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the fritters for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
  8. Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, a splash of milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. Once the fritters have cooled, dip the tops into the glaze or drizzle it over the fritters.
