Delightful Apple Fritter Bites
Ingredients:
Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 1/2 cups finely diced Honeycrisp or Gala apples (about 2 medium)
Apple Cider Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup + 2 tbsp apple cider or juice
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and give a baking sheet a spritz of nonstick spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3. In a larger bowl, mix melted butter and sugar. Add in the egg, vanilla, and applesauce, whisking until everything is smooth.
4. Combine your dry ingredients with the wet mix and stir just until blended. Gently fold in the apples.
5. Drop tablespoon-sized mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space in between.
6. Bake for 10 minutes; then turn on the broiler to high.
7. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and apple cider/juice until you have a thin consistency.
8. Brush some glaze over the warm fritter bites, allowing it to drip down the sides. Broil for 2-4 minutes, turning the pan frequently, until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized.
9. Remove and brush with the remaining glaze for an extra sweet touch.
10. Let them cool for 15 minutes before devouring!
