Description

A deliciously moist and more wholesome version of cake donuts with lots of spiced flavor.

Ingredients
  • baking spray
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ cups white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup applesauce
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 extra large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with baking spray.
  2. 2. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and kosher salt together in a bowl.
  3. 3. Whisk applesauce, apple cider, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Stir into flour mixture gradually until ingredients are combined.
  4. 4. Spoon batter into the prepared pan, filling each cup 3/4 full.
  5. 5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean, about 17 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before removing donuts from the pan.
  6. 6. Combine sugar and cinnamon for topping in a shallow dish. Brush donuts with melted butter on both sides and dip into sugar-cinnamon combination.
