# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until homogenous.
03 -
In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and granulated sugar. Incorporate egg thoroughly, then blend in vanilla extract and applesauce until smooth.
04 -
Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until a cohesive batter forms. Gently fold in diced apples until evenly distributed.
05 -
Scoop 1 tablespoon portions of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing mounds several centimeters apart. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven. Switch oven to broil on high setting.
06 -
While baking, combine powdered sugar with apple cider or apple juice in a small bowl. Whisk until a thin glaze forms.

Brush each baked fritter bite with glaze, allowing excess to drip down the sides. Return tray to the oven and broil for 2-4 minutes, rotating the sheet every minute to ensure even caramelization. Observe closely to prevent burning.

Brush fritters with the remaining glaze. Let stand on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes, or until the glaze hardens.
