Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and dice the apples into small chunks. Toss them with cinnamon and a bit of sugar.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Combine Wet Ingredients: Beat the egg, then mix in milk and vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry: Slowly add wet mixture to dry mix, stirring gently.
Fold in Apples: Gently fold diced apples into batter.
Heat the Oil: Heat oil in a pot to 375°F (190°C).
Fry the Donuts: Drop batter into hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain and Glaze: Remove donuts from oil, drain on paper towels, and drizzle with glaze.

For a healthier option, consider baking the donuts instead of frying and use whole wheat flour for added fiber.
