Baked Apple Doughnut Holes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12-cavity mini doughnut pans.
• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a large bowl; mix together with a fork until combined. Add shortening and mix with the fork until broken up into small clumps.
• Mix together apples, milk, and eggs in a separate bowl. Add to flour mixture and stir just until blended. Spoon batter into the prepared doughnut pans.
• Bake doughnuts in the preheated oven until slightly browned on the bottoms, about 10 minutes. Remove from pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• While doughnuts are cooling, place melted butter for topping in a shallow bowl. Mix together 1 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in another shallow bowl. Dip cooled doughnuts in butter and then in sugar mixture to coat.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon and, if desired, nutmeg., In a large bowl, beat sugar and shortening until crumbly. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; add to sugar mixture alternately with cider., In a large cast-iron or electric skillet, heat oil to 350°. Carefully drop batter by tablespoonfuls, a few at a time, into hot oil. Fry until dark golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels; cool 5 minutes. Toss in spiced sugar.

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease forty 1 1/2" muffin pan cups.
• 2. In a medium-size bowl, combine flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. With pastry blender or 2 knives, cut 1 cup (2 sticks) butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine crumbs. Stir in eggs and milk until soft dough forms. Fold in apples and nuts (if using).
• 3. With floured hands, roll dough into 1-inch round balls to resemble doughnut holes. Drop balls into muffin pan cups. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
• 4. In a small saucepan, melt remaining 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter over low heat. In medium size plastic food storage bag, combine remaining 3/4 cup sugar and the cinnamon. In batches of 3 or 4, drop doughnut holes into melted butter to cover and then immediately remove doughnut holes with tongs or a slotted spoon. Toss into the sugar/cinnamon mixture. Repeat until all doughnut holes have been coated.
