Baked Apple Donuts

I have to be honest with you.

I made this recipe way back in the beginning of November and somehow it got lost in the blogosphere, and I just now found it again.

This is a Tasty Kitchen recipe (aka Pioneer Woman's recipe site).

I like the Tasty Kitchen site. I even have a few of my recipes posted there, but the one thing that truly bugs me about it is that it's so darn time consuming to submit a recipe. Have any of you tried?

You have to list each ingredient by cup, ounce, each, etc. Who has this kind of time?? I'm a cut and paste kinda girl, I don't have a half hour to upload a recipe.

I hope she works those kinks out, I mean what does that woman do all day??? Geesh, lol.

So anyway, I made these back in November, and they were a hit for breakfast. The boys really liked them and being portable always helps. Grab one or two and go.




Doesn't the batter look like egg salad??? I thought it did.

Printable recipe
3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup vegetable shortening
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
2 cups cored and finely diced apples

Topping
½ cup butter, melted
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350. Mix the first 5 ingredients with a fork. Add the shortening and mix until the shortening is broken up. Set aside. In another bowl combine the eggs, milk and diced apples. Add this to the dry ingredients and mix until just blended.



Spoon into a greased muffin pan, or use paper liners. Bake 20 – 25 minutes or until muffins are light to medium brown. While donuts are baking, melt the butter and set aside. Combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. When the donuts are done and before they have had a chance to cool, dip them in butter and then in the cinnamon/sugar mixture.
