Description

These applesauce donuts have the flavors and spice of the old-fashioned applesauce cake my grandmother made during my childhood. Another great thing about these donuts is the maple glaze. The flavors scream breakfast with a subtle caramel undertone. On top of everything else, these are baked, not fried. So, in the world of donut consumption, they are basically guilt-free!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE BATTER:
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • ¾ cups Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoons Nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ cups Cinnamon Apple Sauce
  • ¼ cups Milk
  • 2  Eggs, Lightly Beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter, Melted
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Maple Extract
  • 5 teaspoons Milk

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 325 F. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
2. Combine the applesauce, milk, eggs, vanilla and butter in a medium sized bowl.
3. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Beat until well combined and it forms a smooth batter.
4. Thoroughly grease your donut pan(s). Recipe makes 18 regular sized donuts.
5. Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter into each donut ring. Your measurements may vary depending on your pan. You want to fill the rings until half full.
6. Bake the donuts in a 325 F oven for 15 minutes.
7. Remove donuts from the oven. Carefully lift them from the pans. Place them on a wire rack to cool.
8. In a small bowl using a wire whisk, combine the glaze ingredients, adding the milk 1 teaspoon at a time until a thick but smooth glaze forms.
9. Dip one side of the donuts into the glaze, then set them back on the rack (glaze side up) while the glaze sets.
9. Enjoy while warm or allow to cool and store in an airtight container.
