Peel, core, and grate the apples into a large mixing bowl. Squeeze out any excess liquid using your hands or a clean kitchen towel.
Toss the grated apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce until smooth.
In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Combine the wet ingredients (egg mixture) with the dry ingredients (flour mixture) and stir until just combined. Fold in the grated apples.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with olive oil or cooking spray.
Drop 2-3 tablespoons of the apple mixture into the skillet for each latke, pressing down lightly to flatten them. Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the latkes are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the latkes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining apple mixture, adding more oil or cooking spray as needed.
Serve warm, lightly dusted with powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy!
