2 teaspoons baking powder

0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
05 -
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
06 -
60 grams unsalted butter, melted
07 -
50 grams granulated sugar
08 -
1 large egg
09 -
0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

120 millilitres unsweetened applesauce
11 -

12 -
240 grams powdered sugar

# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C and lightly coat a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
02 -
Combine flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl and whisk to distribute evenly.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar until well blended. Incorporate the egg, vanilla extract, and applesauce, mixing until uniform and smooth.
04 -
Gradually add the dry ingredient blend to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the finely diced apples to distribute evenly without overmixing.
05 -
Spoon the batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre emerges clean.
06 -
While the fritter bites cool slightly, whisk powdered sugar and apple cider together in a bowl until a smooth, slightly thick glaze forms.
07 -
Submerge each warm apple fritter bite into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off. Place glazed bites on a wire rack to set the coating.
# Notes:
01 -
For best texture, glaze the fritter bites while still warm to allow optimal absorption.
