  4. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and applesauce; whisk until smooth.
  5. Combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and gently fold in the diced apples.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

Keep an eye on the broiler; it can go from perfect to crispy in the blink of an eye. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze unglazed bites for up to 3 months.
