Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Apple Fritter Bites
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with nonstick spray or parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, beat melted butter with granulated sugar until creamy, then whisk in egg, vanilla extract, and applesauce.
  4. Fold dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined, then gently fold in diced apples.
  5. Scoop portions of the batter onto the baking sheet, spacing them about a few inches apart, aiming for 12 bites.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, then broil for an additional 2-4 minutes for browning.
  7. While baking, whisk powdered sugar with apple cider or juice until smooth to prepare the glaze.
  8. After baking, brush the warm glaze generously over the bites, and let them cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes.
