→ Apple Bites
01 -
1/4 cup granulated sugar
02 -
1 large egg
03 -
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
04 -
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
05 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 -
2 teaspoons baking powder
07 -
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
08 -
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
09 -
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
10 -
1 1/2 cups finely chopped apples (Honeycrisp or Gala work great, about 2 medium)
→ Cider Glaze
11 -
2 cups powdered sugar
12 -
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons apple juice or cider
# Instructions:
01 -
Fire up your oven to 400°F. Lightly coat your baking pan with nonstick spray to keep things from sticking.
02 -
In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt, and give it a good stir until evenly combined.
03 -
In a larger bowl, mix melted butter with sugar. Toss in your egg, vanilla, and applesauce. Keep whisking until everything feels smooth and velvety.
04 -
Add your dry mix into the wet one, mixing just until they're combined—stop once it comes together! Carefully fold in those chopped apples.
05 -
Scoop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared tray, spacing them out. Pop it in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
06 -
While you wait, whisk the powdered sugar with apple cider or juice until it's smooth and pourable.
07 -
Once they're out, switch your oven to broil mode. Brush the freshly baked bites with some glaze and broil for 2-4 minutes, rotating as needed until it bubbles. Pour the rest of the glaze and let it set for 15 minutes before you serve.
# Notes:
01 -
Best enjoyed fresh the same day for the glaze texture
02 -
Dice apples into small pieces for better texture
03 -
Keep an eye while broiling—don’t let them burn!
