1. Peel, core, and dice apples into small chunks. Toss with a pinch of cinnamon and set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in milk, vanilla, and melted butter.

4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples.

5. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C), using a thermometer to maintain temperature.

6. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown.

7. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a cooling rack over a baking sheet.

8. Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to create the glaze. Drizzle or dip warm fritters into glaze. Let set slightly before serving.
