Set oven to 400°F and coat your baking tray with cooking spray.

Stir together the cinnamon, flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium-sized bowl.
03 -
Whisk the melted butter and white sugar in a bigger bowl. Mix in the applesauce, egg, and vanilla until it’s all smooth.
04 -
Carefully fold the dry ingredients into your wet ingredients, stopping once just blended. Gently stir in the diced apples.

Place spoonfuls of batter onto the baking tray with spaces in between. Bake for 10 minutes.
06 -
As the bites bake, mix the cider with powdered sugar until the glaze is smooth and easy to pour.
