1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray to prepare for the baking process.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the melted unsalted butter with the granulated sugar, then stir in the large egg, vanilla extract, and no-sugar-added applesauce until everything is fully incorporated.

4. Combine & Add Apples: Gently fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Then, fold in the finely diced Honeycrisp apples.

5. Scoop Batter: Using about 1 tablespoon of the apple-studded batter, form mounds and space them a few inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

6. Bake: Pop the tray of fritter bites into the preheated 400°F oven and bake for 10 minutes, until they’re lightly golden.

7. Prepare Glaze: While the fritters are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and apple cider or apple juice until the glaze is smooth and slightly runny.

8. Broil & Glaze: After the initial 10-minute bake, switch your oven to the broil setting on high. Brush the warm fritters with the prepared glaze, then return them to the oven and broil for 2-4 minutes, rotating the baking sheet every minute, until the glaze starts to caramelize lightly.

9. Finish: Remove the tray from the oven and brush the remaining glaze evenly over the fritters. Allow them to sit on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes, until the glaze hardens.

10. Serve: Enjoy your freshly baked Apple Fritter Bites warm or at room temperature – they’re sure to be a delightful treat!
