### Instructions:
1. **Preheat & Prep:** Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Lightly grease if not using parchment.
2. **Combine Dry Ingredients:** In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3. **Combine Wet Ingredients:** In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. **Combine Wet & Dry:** Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until moistened. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. **Fold in Apples:** Gently fold in the finely diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. **Form Fritters:** Drop spoonfuls (about 2 tablespoons each) of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them. You can make them as rustic or uniform as you like.
7. **Bake:** Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. **Cool Slightly:** While the fritters are baking, prepare the glaze. Once baked, let the fritters cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. **Make the Glaze:** In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and drizzle-able. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk a tiny bit at a time. If it’s too thin, add a little more powdered sugar.
10. **Glaze & Serve:** Once the fritters have cooled completely (or are still slightly warm, if you prefer), drizzle generously with the cinnamon glaze. Serve immediately and enjoy!
### Short Tips:
* For extra apple flavor, you can lightly sauté the diced apples in a teaspoon of butter and a pinch of cinnamon before adding them to the batter.
* Don’t overmix the batter! Overmixing can lead to tough fritters.
* Get creative with your glaze! Add a pinch of ginger or a touch of lemon zest for an extra layer of flavor.
* Leftover fritters can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, and briefly warmed in the microwave or oven before serving.
