Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk together until well blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together whole milk, large egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Add peeled and diced apples into the wet mixture. Pour into the bowl of dry ingredients and fold together until just combined.
  5. Drop 3-4 tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake the fritters for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Allow the fritters to rest on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
  8. While the fritters cool, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. Drizzle the glaze over the fritters while they are still warm and allow it to set slightly before serving.
