Cut granny smith apples into very small pieces.

In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Set the dry ingredients aside.

In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and melted butter.

Add the small apple pieces to the dry ingredients and coat them in flour.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and apples all at once.

Let the mixture sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquids.

Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan to 350-400°F for frying.

Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop the batter into the hot oil, pushing it down slightly to ensure even cooking.

Fry for about 5 minutes, flipping halfway through (2.5 minutes on each side) until golden brown.

Prepare a glaze by mixing icing sugar with milk, starting with 2 tablespoons and adjusting for desired thickness, adding vanilla if desired.

Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl for coating.

Remove fritters from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Roll some fritters in the cinnamon sugar mixture and glaze the others.
