Mini Apple Spiced Glazed Donuts Recipes

APPLE DONUTS

Steps:

• Slice the top and bottom from each apple and discard. Slice the apples into 1/2-inch circles. Use a biscuit cutter or small melon baller to cut a hole in the center of each to make a "donut."
• Put the chocolate-hazelnut spread and peanut butter in separate pastry bags (or put in separate ziptop bags and snip off a corner).
• Top the apple rings with either the chocolate-hazelnut spread, peanut butter or yogurt. (Pipe the chocolate-hazelnut spread or peanut butter, then spread carefully with a knife or offset spatula; spread the yogurt with a spoon.) Garnish each with a variety of the toppings.

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.

• Pour batter into the well greased and floured pans. Bake for 40 minutes. They should be very golden brown and toothpick comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and let cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before removing onto a wire rack to cool.

MINI APPLE SPICED GLAZED DONUTS

Steps:

• Remove the biscuits from the can and place onto a cutting board. Using a 1/2-inch biscuit cutter or the cap from a water bottle remove the center from each biscuit. Place both the donuts and donut holes onto a sheet pan and allow them to rest and come to temperature, about 15 minutes.
• In a large bowl combine powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice and apple juice. Whisk together until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
• Heat the oil, in a medium pot over medium heat, to 350 degrees F.
• Fry the donuts, 3 at a time, until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Remove from oil and place on a sheet tray lined with a paper towel. Repeat with remaining donuts and donut holes.
• Dip the top of each donut into the prepared glaze and place on a serving tray. Let glaze set about 5 minutes and serve.
