Step-by-Step Instructions for Apple Fritter Bites
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, mix melted butter and granulated sugar, then add egg, vanilla extract, and applesauce until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently stir until just combined; fold in finely diced apples.
  5. Scoop portions of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scoop.
  6. Bake for about 10 minutes until they puff up and turn golden-brown.
  7. Switch to broil, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with apple cider until thin, then brush over the bites.
  8. Return the bites to the oven under the broiler for 2-4 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  9. Remove from oven, brush with any remaining glaze, and cool for 15 minutes before serving.
