Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar, then add egg, vanilla extract, and applesauce, mixing until smooth.
  4. Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, then fold in diced apples.
  5. Scoop portions of the batter onto the baking sheet about an inch apart.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes until slightly golden around the edges.
  7. While baking, whisk together powdered sugar and apple cider to make the glaze.
  8. Broil the fritters for 2-4 minutes until caramelized, monitoring closely.
