Fritters:
Whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.
In another bowl, add diced apples and lemon juice.
Add sugar and eggs to the bowl of a stand mixer; with the paddle attachment, mix on medium speed until fully combined; reduce to low; add in flour mixture; mix until just combined. Add milk; stir until well combined; fold in the diced apples.
Fill a skillet halfway with oil; heat over medium heat until oil reaches 375 degrees with a candy thermometer or an instant read thermometer.
Drop 1/4 c. batter at a time into oil; let fry until golden brown. The batter will feel thin, but it'll come together. Flip over; fry second side until golden brown. They're done when a small knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If not, fry a little longer.
Use a large slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel-lined cooling rack; let cool. Repeat with remaining batter.
Glaze:
In a small bowl, stir together powdered sugar, vanilla and 3 t. water. Stir in more water, 1 t. at a time, until a pourable consistency is reached.
Drizzle glaze over the cooled fritters; allow to dry.
