Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the coconut milk, erythritol, eggs, vanilla extract, butter, and applesauce. Whisk until you have a smooth mixture.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until they are just combined.
Pour the batter into a piping bag or a large ziplock bag with a corner cut off and pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the donuts are cooling, gently heat the stevia-sweetened caramel sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until it is warmed and slightly thickened.
Once the donuts are cooled, dip the tops into the warm caramel sauce or drizzle the sauce over the donuts.
Let the caramel-topped donuts rest for a few minutes to set before serving.
