# Recipe Steps:
01 - Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl to ensure even distribution.
02 - In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
03 - Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing to maintain tender texture.
04 - Carefully fold in the diced apples, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
05 - Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet to 350°F (175°C), maintaining approximately 2 inches depth.
06 - Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into hot oil, frying 3 to 4 fritters at a time for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
07 - Remove fritters using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
08 - Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly runny.
09 - Dip warm fritters into glaze or drizzle glaze over the top, allowing it to set briefly before serving.
