# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
03 -
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
04 -
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples.
05 -
Scoop heaping spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
06 -
While the fritters cool slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
07 -
Drizzle or brush the glaze over the warm fritters. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
# Notes:

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Warm in the microwave for a fresh-from-the-oven taste!

For an extra crunch, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
03 -
Adjust the glaze consistency by adding more milk (thinner) or powdered sugar (thicker).
