Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a larger bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth, then mix in the egg, vanilla, and applesauce.
  4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in the diced apples.
  5. Scoop portions of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes, then broil on high for 2 to 4 minutes until golden-brown.
  7. Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and apple cider until smooth.
  8. Brush the warm fritters with the apple cider glaze, allowing it to drip down the sides.
  9. Let the glazed fritter bites set for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
