Glazed Apple Bites (Printable Version)
Tender apple-packed bites with cinnamon and cider glaze. A tiny, tasty treat for cool-weather days.
# What You'll Need:
→ Bite Mixture
01 -
1 ½ cups plain flour
02 -
2 tsp cinnamon powder
03 -
½ tsp coarse salt
04 -
2 tsp baking powder
05 -
¼ cup melted butter (unsalted)
06 -
¼ cup white sugar
07 -
1 large egg
08 -
½ tsp vanilla flavoring
09 -
½ cup applesauce (no added sugar)
10 -
1 ½ cups finely chopped Gala or Honeycrisp apples (2 medium-sized)
→ Cider Glaze
11 -
2 cups powdered sugar
12 -
⅓ cup and 2 tbsp apple juice or cider
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Set your oven to 400°F. Lightly coat your baking sheet with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until everything looks evenly mixed.
03 -
In a bigger bowl, whisk the melted butter with the sugar. Add the applesauce, egg, and vanilla, then whisk again until smooth.
04 -
Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—don’t mix too much! Fold in the apple pieces last.
05 -
Drop rounded spoonfuls of the batter onto your greased sheet, keeping them a little apart. Bake for 10 minutes.
06 -
As the bites bake, combine the powdered sugar and cider in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and runny enough to drizzle.
07 -
Once baked, turn the oven to broil. Brush each warm bite with glaze, then broil for 2-4 minutes, turning the tray to bubble the glaze evenly. Brush on extra glaze once cooled and wait 15 minutes before enjoying.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Tastes best when eaten the same day for fresh glaze
02 -
Chopping apples finely ensures smooth texture
03 -
Be sure to watch closely during broiling to avoid burning
