Method

Prepare the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.

Cook the Fritters

Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. The oil should be around 350 degrees.
Drop rounded tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil. Avoid crowding the pan.
Fry for about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and let them rest on a wire rack over paper towels.

Glaze the Fritters

While the fritters are still warm, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and salt to make the glaze.
Dip each fritter into the glaze, letting the excess drip off.

Notes

These Apple Fritter Bites are best enjoyed fresh and warm. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze the fritters on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer bag. They will keep for up to two months.
