Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Flour<\/strong>: This baked apple donuts recipe uses all-purpose flour, but whole wheat flour makes a good substitute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk<\/strong>: I used regular milk. For vegan apple cinnamon donuts, switch to plant-based milk like my easy homemade almond milk<\/a> <\/a>which I used to make these vegan cinnamon baked donuts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil<\/strong>: Coconut oil is a personal preference; any neutral-tasting <\/strong>oil will do here, or even melted butter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar: <\/strong>Raw, caster, cane, or brown sugar; any will work in the batter. For the cinnamon sugar-coating, if you don\u2019t love the crunchy texture, use powdered sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apples:<\/strong> The best choice for this apple donuts recipe is whatever variety is in season and locally available. Wash, peel, and then grate the juicy fruit using the coarsest section of your box grater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Squeeze the juice out so there is no excess moisture in your apple donuts. Don\u2019t throw the juice! Sip while you wait for the donuts to bake.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How To Make<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Set your oven to preheat. Grease the cavity of the donut pan, and then start making the apple donut batter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Mix milk, and vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong> In a separate (larger) bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, cinnamon powder, and salt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Add coconut oil, vanilla extract, milk-vinegar mixture, and grated apples to the dry ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5<\/strong>: Mix until you have a smooth, lump-free cinnamon apple donuts batter with a thick pouring consistency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"Batter<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 6:<\/strong> Transfer the batter into a piping bag, and then pipe it into the donut pan. It\u2019s the mess-free way. Alternatively, you can spoon the batter into the pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Donut<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 7<\/strong>: Bake the apple donuts until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. It takes about 10 to 12 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
