⅓ cup plus 2 tablespoons apple cider or juice
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 400°F and give your baking sheet a good spray with nonstick cooking spray.
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
03 -
In a large bowl, whisk your melted butter and sugar together. Add in the egg, vanilla, and applesauce, whisking until everything's nice and smooth.
04 -
Stir the dry ingredients into your wet ingredients just until mixed - don't overdo it! Then gently fold in those diced apples.
05 -
Drop tablespoons of batter onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each. Bake for 10 minutes.
06 -
While they're baking, whisk together your powdered sugar and apple cider until you've got a nice, pourable glaze.
07 -
Switch to broiler after initial bake. Brush warm bites with some glaze, then broil 2-4 minutes, rotating pan until glaze bubbles up. Add remaining glaze and let set 15 minutes before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Best eaten same day while glaze is fresh
02 -
Keep apples finely diced for best texture
03 -
Watch carefully during broiling to prevent burning
