• Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
• Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth and thick.
• Fold in Apples: Gently fold diced apples into the batter.
• Heat Oil: Heat 2-3 inches of oil in a pan to 350°F (175°C).
• Fry Fritters: Drop 2-tbsp portions of batter into the oil, frying in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
• Drain and Dust: Drain fritters on paper towels. Use the desired dressing and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Glaze Instructions:

• Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir until the cinnamon is evenly distributed.
• Add Vanilla: Pour in the vanilla extract and mix.
• Adjust Consistency: Gradually add milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free option), starting with 2 tablespoons, and stir until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk in small increments until it reaches the desired texture.
• Glaze the Fritters: After frying and cooling the apple fritters slightly (about 5 minutes), drizzle the warm fritters with the cinnamon vanilla glaze. For extra sweetness, dip the entire fritter in the glaze!
