Ingredients

• Donuts:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• ¾ cup buttermilk
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups chopped apples, peels removed (for me this was one large apple, probably two medium)
• Oil for frying
• Glaze:
• 1½ cups powdered sugar
• ¼ cup whole milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
• In a separate bow,l whisk together the buttermilk, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Add liquids to the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add the chopped apples and mix only until incorporated.
• Preheat your waffle iron and cook waffles according to manufacturers instructions. Let cool and cut into segments.
• Now, preheat your deep fryer.
• I fried two sections of the waffle at a time. You want to fry them until they are golden brown, about one minute per side. Remove donuts with tongs or a slotted spoon and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Dip the hot doughnuts into the glaze and let sit on a wire rack for 20 minutes before serving.
