Apple Pie Donuts Recipes

APPLE PIE DONUTS

Steps:

• To make the dough: Warm the milk either over the stove or in the microwave, then pour it into the bowl of a stand mixer that has been fitted with a dough hook. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved, then add the yeast and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes or until it becomes bubbly.
• Add the eggs and melted butter and mix them in. While the mixer is running on medium-low, stir in the flour and salt until completely combined, about five minutes. Turn off the mixer and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
• After it has rested, move the dough to a clean, oiled bowl and turn it to coat all of the dough in oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or up to 1 day.
• To make the donuts, remove the dough from the refrigerator and turn it out onto a floured surface. With a rolling pin, roll it out until it is about 1/3-1/2″ thick, then using a large circle cutter (something about 3-4 inches, I like to use a wide-mouth jar lid), cut as many donuts as you can. Using a small cutter (about 1″), cut a hole out of the center of each donut. Lay them out on parchment lined baking sheets, leaving about an inch between them. Repeat the rolling & cutting with the dough edges until you have used it all.
• Gently lay plastic wrap over the top of the doughnuts, and let them rise for 1-2 hours, or until they are puffed up and soft when you touch them. If your house is cold, turn on your oven for about 2 minutes then turn it off, just to make it slightly warm. Place the trays of donuts in the oven.
• In a medium, heavy-bottomed pan, heat at least 2″ of oil to 350°. Carefully drop 2 or 3 of the donuts in and fry for about 2 minutes on each side, or until each side is golden brown. Remove from the oil to a cooling rack and repeat with the rest of the donuts and donut holes, keeping the oil around 350°.
• Peel and slice the apples into about 1/8″ to 1/4″ thick. Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch together in a small bowl.
• In a saucepan, melt the butter down until it's bubbling, then stir in the brown sugar mixture and apple cider vinegar. Turn the heat down to medium low and stir the apples into the sauce. Continue to cook and stir until the apples become tender and soft, about 5-8 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract and set aside to cool.
• For the glaze: Combine the milk and vanilla in a small saucepan and heat over low until warm. Sift the powdered sugar into the pan, then whisk until smooth. Remove the pan from the heat, then dip both sides of the donuts in and allow it to set for about five minutes

BAKED APPLE DONUTS WITH CINNAMON SUGAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400℉. Grease two donut pans with butter or baking spray. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, apple pie spice, and salt until combined. Set aside.
• In another mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, olive oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth and combined.
• Fold the applesauce mixture into the dry ingredients, until just mixed and no streaks of flour remain.
• Transfer the batter to a large piping bag (or a ziploc bag), snip off the corner, and pipe the batter into the donut pans. Each donut mold will be filled almost to the top.
• Bake until golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center of each donut comes out clean, about 10-12 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a baking rack to cool.
• When the donuts are cool enough to handle (15 minutes or so), add the melted butter and cinnamon-sugar mixture to two small shallow bowls.
• Dip each donut in the melted butter followed by the sugar topping until well-coated. Enjoy!!
