Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400º. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cut cold butter into 1 inch cubes and add to flour mixture. Incorporate the butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until you have pea sized pieces.
Step 3
Gently add the apples and stir to combine.
Step 4
In a large measuring cup or bowl, whisk the egg, milk and vanilla and fold it into the flour mixture, just until combined. The batter will be very thick.
Step 5
Use a spoon to form rough looking mounds of dough, about ¼ cup, on the baking sheet, or if you want perfectly shaped rounds, use an ice cream scoop.
Step 6
Bake for 12-14 minutes until the tops are slightly brown and the top springs back when pushed in with your finger. Make the glazes while they bake.
Step 7
For each glaze, combine powdered sugar with milk and whisk until smooth. The first glaze should be thin and the second thick.
Step 8
Remove the fritters from the oven and turn it to broil. Place the oven rack about 4 inches from the top. Brush the tops of the fritters with the 1st glaze and place under the oven for 1-2 minutes. It will caramelize on top and turn the tops brown. Watch carefully so that they don’t burn.
Step 9
Remove to a wire rack and let cool slightly. While still warm, brush with the second thicker glaze.
