Apple Fritter Bites 😍

Ingredients:

For the Apple Fritter Bites:

Nonstick cooking spray (for greasing the muffin tin)

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 apples)

For the Apple Cider Glaze:

2 cups powdered sugar

1/3 cup + 2 tbsp apple cider or juice

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

In another bowl, whisk the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and applesauce, mixing until smooth.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the diced apples.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a bite comes out clean.

While the bites cool slightly, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and apple cider until smooth and slightly thickened.

Dip each warm apple fritter bite into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Set on a cooling rack to let the glaze set.

Enjoy these bite-sized treats with a burst of apple and cinnamon flavor!
