Instructions
- Assemble the apples: Combine diced apples with a tablespoon of sugar and cinnamon, set aside.
- Mix dry ingredients: Whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.

- Fold in apples: Gently incorporate the apple mixture into the batter.
- Prepare baking sheet: Line with parchment paper or lightly greased silicone mats.
- Shape fritters: Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared sheet, forming rounds.
- Bake: In a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C), bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and firm.
- Prepare glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and pourable.
- Glaze fritters: Drizzle the glaze over slightly cooled fritters for a glossy finish.
