Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spatula
- Pastry brush
Ingredients
- 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)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until combined, then whisk in the egg, vanilla extract, and applesauce until smooth.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just combined, then gently fold in diced apples.
- Scoop out 1 tablespoon portions of batter and drop onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
- Bake for 10 minutes, until fritter bites are golden and set.
- While baking, prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar and apple cider or juice until thin and pourable.
- Brush some glaze over the warm fritter bites and broil under high heat for 2-4 minutes until caramelized, rotating the pan frequently.
- Remove from the oven and brush remaining glaze over the tops; let sit for about 15 minutes for the glaze to set.
Notes
For an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of allspice to the batter. Apples are delicious and packed with fiber; they add moisture and natural sweetness to the fritters.
