Baked Apple Donuts
Baked Apple Doughnuts
Modified By: Michael D'Attilo
Doughnuts:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup Crisco (shortening)
1 egg (beaten)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup finely diced apples
Coating:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
Cut shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture looks like coarse cornmeal. Set aside.
Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine egg, milk, and apples. Mix well and combine with dry ingredients. Add shortening. Mix just until blended.
Spoon batter into 12 greased muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until done.
While doughnuts are baking, melt 1/2 cup butter and set aside. Combine 1/2 cup sugar with cinnamon, mixing well and also setting aside.
Remove doughnuts immediately from muffin cups when finished. Roll each in butter mixture, coating evenly; then roll in sugar/cinnamon mixture. A second coat can be applied, if desired, after doughnuts have cooled.
