These delightful apple fritter bites blend tender apples, sweet cinnamon, and just enough glaze for a sweet indulgence.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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 apples (Honeycrisp or Gala)
- 2 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1/3 cup + 2 tbsp apple cider or juice (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly, then add the egg, vanilla extract, and applesauce.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just mixed.
- Add the finely diced apples, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line it with parchment paper or grease it. Dollop small amounts of batter onto the sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Make the glaze by combining powdered sugar with apple cider or juice.
- Glaze the fritters once they are cool enough to handle.
