Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g All-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 120 ml Unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 Large egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 120 ml Skim milk
- 150 g Apples, peeled and diced
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly coat a donut pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and granulated sugar until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, and skim milk until thoroughly combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the diced apples gently, ensuring they are distributed evenly throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 2/3 full.
Sprinkle a little brown sugar over the top of each filled donut mold to add a touch of sweetness and caramelization.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the donuts warm or at room temperature, optionally dusted with additional cinnamon sugar for extra flavor.
