A half-teaspoon of vanilla extract
Half a cup unsweetened applesauce
Approximately two medium-sized Honeycrisp or Gala apples, finely sliced
Appel Cider For the glaze, use two cups of powdered sugar.
Two teaspoons + one-third cup of apple juice or cider
Rules:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray nonstick cooking spray on a baking sheet.
In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a large bowl, thoroughly beat together the sugar and melted butter. Add the egg, vanilla, and applesauce and whisk until smooth.
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined. Gently fold in the chopped apples.
Spoon 1 spoonful of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and turn broiler on high.
Beat the powdered sugar with the cider or apple juice until pourable to produce the glaze.
Brush over the hot fritter chunks, allowing some of the glaze to drip down the sides. For two to four minutes, or until the glaze starts to boil and caramelize, broil, moving the pan often.
Remove from the oven and generously brush the tops of the fritters with the leftover glaze.
