Baked Buttermilk Apple Pie Donuts
Makes 18-20 donuts
Ingredients
For the Donuts:
2
cups
cake flour
3/4
cup
sugar
2
tsp
baking powder
1
tsp
apple pie spice
1/2
tsp
salt
2
eggs
beaten
2
tbsp
butter
melted
1
cup
buttermilk
1/2
cup
apple juice
1
tsp
vanilla
1/2
cup
chopped dried apples
crushed graham crackers
for garnish
For the Glaze:
2
cups
powdered sugar
1/4
cup
milk
1/2
tsp
apple pie spice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl add all the dry ingredients: Flour, sugar, baking powder, apple pie spice, and salt.
Sift together until mixed.
Whisk in eggs, butter, buttermilk, vanilla, and apple juice.
Finally add chopped dried apples.
Grease and flour a donut baking pan (mine has 6 nonstick donut rings).
I poured my batter into a large measuring cup and poured it into the donut pan, filling each ring 3/4 way.
Bake 10-12 minutes until golden and they spring back to your touch.
Remove from oven and after a couple minutes remove to a cooling tray.
Repeat with remaining batter.
Meanwhile make the glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and apple pie spice together in a bowl.
Dunk each mostly cooled donut top into the glaze then sprinkle with crushed graham crackers.
Place back on the cooling rack until the glaze has hardened and the donuts have cooled (if you can wait that long before eating them!).
