Apple Cinnamon Baked Doughnut Holes Recipes

APPLE CINNAMON BAKED DOUGHNUT HOLES

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees.
• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter and vanilla extract. Set the wet and dry ingredients aside while you do some apple grating.
• Peel your apple and grate it using the large holes on a box grater. (If you don't have a box grater, relax. Just use a sharp knife to chop your apple very finely.) Use your hands to squeeze as much of the juice from the grated apple as you can, and add the squeezed grated apple to the dry ingredients.
• Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. DO NO OVER-MIX, people. (Over-mixing creates overly dense doughnuts.)
• Spray the mini muffin tin and evenly distribute the doughnut batter amongst the wells. (You should have enough for about 14 doughnut holes.)
• Bake your doughnut holes for 10-12 minutes until they are lightly browned. Allow the doughnut holes to cool for 1-2 minutes before removing them from the tin and place them on a rack to cool for at least 10 minutes.
• While your doughnut holes are cooling, prepare the topping. In a small pan melt the butter and set aside to cool. In a separate bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar.
• When the doughnuts holes are cool, coat each one with butter (you can dip them in the butter or use a pastry brush) and then roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Don't skimp on the cinnamon-sugar, friends. You want a really solid coating. Serve immediately.

BAKED APPLE DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12-cavity mini doughnut pans.
• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a large bowl; mix together with a fork until combined. Add shortening and mix with the fork until broken up into small clumps.
• Mix together apples, milk, and eggs in a separate bowl. Add to flour mixture and stir just until blended. Spoon batter into the prepared doughnut pans.
• Bake doughnuts in the preheated oven until slightly browned on the bottoms, about 10 minutes. Remove from pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• While doughnuts are cooling, place melted butter for topping in a shallow bowl. Mix together 1 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in another shallow bowl. Dip cooled doughnuts in butter and then in sugar mixture to coat.

DELICIOUS CINNAMON BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking dish with the butter.
• Mix brown sugar, vanilla sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Layer about 1/3 of the apples in prepared baking dish; sprinkle with 1/3 of the sugar mixture. Repeat layers twice more.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Pour water over apples and continue baking until tender, about 15 minutes more.
