# Instructions:
01 -
Heat a few inches of oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Line a plate with paper towels.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, butter and vanilla. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Fold the chopped apples into the batter.
03 -
Once the oil is hot, drop 1/4 cup portions of batter into the oil, frying only 1 or 2 at a time. Fry until golden on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes, flipping once or twice during cooking. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining batter.
04 -
Whisk the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk together until combined and smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk 1 teaspoon at a time until it reaches dipping consistency.
05 -
Once the fritters are slightly cooled, dip them in the glaze. Place on parchment paper and immediately sprinkle with flaked sea salt. Serve while still warm.
# Notes:
01 -
These fritters are best served warm on the day they're made.

The sea salt adds a delightful contrast to the sweet glaze.
