Step-by-Step Instructions for Warm Baked Apple Fritters
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined.
  5. Fold in the diced apples evenly into the batter.
  6. Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. While baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and additional milk in a small bowl until smooth.
  9. Once out of the oven, allow fritters to cool slightly, then drizzle with the glaze and serve warm.
