Apple Donuts

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F and prepare the donut pan by spraying with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine dry ingredients and stir with a whisk to mix.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine wet ingredients in a separate bowl and stir to mix.

Step 4

Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until just mixed.

Step 5

Place a Ziploc bag inside a tall jar, folding back the edges. Spoon the donut batter into the bag until full. Twist the top of the bag and clip it closed. Hold the bag upside down and use scissors to cut off an angle at the corner of the bag.

Step 6

Pipe/fill each donut cavity ¾ full of batter.

Step 7

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes before removing from the pan.

Step 9

Using two separate bowls (big enough for a donut to fit), place the melted butter in one and then mix the sugar and cinnamon together in the second bowl.

Step 10

Dip the cooled donuts top side down first in the butter, let drip, then dip into sugar/cinnamon mix. Let the donuts sit a few minutes and then dip again in the cinnamon/sugar mixture to give even more texture.

Step 11

Mix together icing ingredients until a smooth consistency. Add more milk if needed, but only a little at a time. You can add food coloring or add colored sprinkles after dipping or drizzling the icing on the donuts.
