### 👩‍🍳 **How to Make Apple Fritters:**

#### **Step 1: Prepare the Apples**

* Peel and core the apples, then dice them into small chunks.
* Set aside while you prepare the batter.

#### **Step 2: Mix the Batter**

* In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
* In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg(s), and vanilla.
* Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
* Gently fold in the diced apples. The batter will be thick and lumpy — that’s perfect!

#### **Step 3: Fry the Fritters**

* Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
* Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter (about 2–3 tablespoons each) into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
* Fry for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
* Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

#### **Step 4: Glaze or Dust**

* Mix powdered sugar with milk and vanilla until smooth.
* While fritters are still warm, dip or drizzle with glaze — or dust with powdered sugar if you prefer a classic finish.

### 💡 **Tips & Tricks:**

* Don’t overcrowd the pan — fry in batches so they cook evenly.
* If your batter seems too thick, add a splash more milk.
* Want to add a twist? Mix in a handful of chopped nuts or a pinch of lemon zest for brightness.
