Ingredients

For the Fritter Bites

1 can Nonstick cooking spray for greasing
1.5 cups All-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Baking powder
0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
0.25 cup Unsalted butter melted
0.25 cup Granulated sugar
1 large Egg
0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
0.5 cup No-sugar-added applesauce
1.5 cups Honeycrisp apples peeled and finely diced (about 2 medium apples)

For the Glaze

2 cups Powdered sugar
0.33 cup Apple cider plus 2 tablespoons

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the fritters do not stick.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the applesauce to incorporate.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Carefully fold in the diced apples.
Scoop 1 tablespoon of the batter for each fritter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the fritters are set and lightly golden.
While the fritters are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and apple cider in a small bowl until the glaze is smooth and thin.
After baking, brush the fritters with some of the glaze. Then, turn on the broiler and broil the glazed fritters for 2-4 minutes, keeping a close eye on them.
Brush the remaining glaze over the broiled fritters and allow them to set on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes until the glaze hardens.

Notes

Serve warm or at room temperature for best taste and texture.
