Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Fresh apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Stevia or erythritol baking blend
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with coconut oil.
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes. Toss them in a small bowl with lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add unsweetened applesauce, milk, vanilla extract, melted butter, and the stevia or erythritol blend, mixing until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until batter is smooth. Fold in the prepared apple pieces until evenly distributed.
Fill donut molds about two-thirds full with the batter. Use a spoon to smooth out the tops.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: For extra cinnamon flavor, you can lightly brush the cooled donuts with a little melted coconut oil and dust them with additional ground cinnamon.
