Method
 

Steps
  1. Begin by dicing fresh peaches and placing them into a bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice to enhance flavor and prevent browning. Mix gently, then set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add melted butter, milk, and almond extract. Mix until smooth.
  4. Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in diced peaches.
  5. In a deep saucepan, pour enough vegetable oil for frying. Heat oil to 375°F (190°C) using a thermometer.
  6. Scoop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying 2-3 fritters at a time for about 2-4 minutes per side.
  7. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  8. In a bowl, whisk together confectioner's sugar, almond extract, and milk until smooth for the glaze.
  9. Drizzle the almond glaze over each fritter, allowing it to set before serving.
