Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the grated apple and erythritol sweetener, ensuring the mixture is blended evenly.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Sprinkle additional cinnamon on top before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
