In a large measuring cup or bowl combine 1 cup of warm milk and 3 tbsp of sugar. Then sprinkle 1 teaspoon yeast over top and let it sit in a warm place for about 20 minutes or until it becomes foamy.
Meanwhile, wash, peel, and dice about 3 medium apples (use whichever kind you like). Once the apples are diced, add 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat 2 eggs and add them to the milk and yeast mixture.
In the bowl of a stand mixer add 3 cups of flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Then mix in the yeast mixture using the paddle attachment.
Add 3 tablespoons softened unsalted butter and the chopped apples and mix to combine.
Cover the mixer bowl with plastic wrap and place it in a warm place for about 1 hour for the dough to rise. I usually place the dough in the oven on the bread-proof cycle.
Fill a heavy-bottomed pot with 1-2 inches of corn oil and bring the temperature to medium-high heat (375 degrees Fº). Scoop 1/4 cup of the dough and place it in the pot.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side of the fritter or until golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
In a bowl combine 4 cups of powdered sugar, 7 tbsp of milk, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract using a whisk. This will be the glaze.
Once the fritters have cooled a little, dip the entire fritter into the glaze and transfer to a cooling rack using a slotted spoon.
