Description

Ingredients

• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ cup canola or vegetable oil
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk (or substitute regular milk)
• 2⅔ all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 2 Granny Smith (or other tart) apples, peeled and shredded
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ½ cup milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1¼ cup powdered icing sugar
• ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans if desired.

Directions

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and grease your doughnut pans well.
• In a large bowl, combine butter, oil and sugar. Add in eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk and whisk until smooth.
• Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and stir just until combined. Stir in apples. Batter will be thick.
• Spoon batter into a large disposable piping bag or freezer bag. Cut off the end of the bag so your opening is about ½-3/4” wide. Pipe batter once around each doughnut hole – the batter should just fill the hole as they’ll expand and rise.
• Bake for 7-8 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes before removing from the doughnut pan to cool completely.
• In a medium pan, heat the brown sugar and milk over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Boil for 3-4 minutes, then remove from the heat and stir in the butter until melted.
• Whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth.
• Working quickly, dip the tops of each donut in the glaze before inverting onto a wire cooling rack.
• If the glaze firms up too quickly, simply reheat over low on the stove until liquid, then remove from the heat and continue glazing. Sprinkle with walnuts or pecans if desired.
