Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Notes
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket to prevent sticking.
- Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if needed for even crisping.
- Adjust glaze thickness with more milk or powdered sugar as desired.
- Use your favorite sweet apples (e.g., Honeycrisp or Fuji) for juicier fritters.
