Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 medium Apple, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon for coating
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar for coating
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the chopped apple pieces, being careful not to overmix.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
Using a small scoop or your hands, carefully drop spoonfuls of dough into the hot oil.
Fry the donuts for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the donuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon with 0.5 cup of granulated sugar.
Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious apple cinnamon donuts!
