Yield: 10 Donuts
Skill level: Medium
Spiced apple donuts are a classic feature of fall and remind us of our childhood drinking fresh pressed apple cider and picking pumpkins at a local pumpkin patch. Incorporating grated Autumn Glory® apples creates an even better donut, requiring less sugar. This also brings out the natural caramel and cinnamon notes with Autumn Glory apple, creating an even more tasty donut that everyone will love.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white whole-wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 Autumn Glory apple grated
- Caramel sauce, optional
- Powdered sugar, optional
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, yogurt, sugar, and vanilla. Stir in the grated apple.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fill a quart-size resealable bag with half of the dough. Cut off the tip of one of the bottom corners of the bag and pipe the dough into the donut pan until about ⅔ full. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Put the pan in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and let donuts cool in pan for 1 – 2 minutes. Then, remove the donuts from the pan and let them cool on a wire rack.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over donuts and dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
