Prepare the Baking Sheet and Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Prepare the Apples:

Toss the diced apples with the lemon juice to prevent browning and set aside.

Mix the Dry Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt.

Combine the Wet Ingredients:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine the Batter:

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Fold in the diced apples gently with a spatula.

Shape the Fritters:

Use a spoon to drop heaping spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon for even baking.

Bake the Fritters:

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Prepare the Glaze:

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.

Glaze the Fritters:

While the fritters are still warm, drizzle the glaze over the top using a spoon or a pastry brush. Let the glaze set before serving.
