Ingredients

• 200 g All-purpose flour
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
• 50 g Granulated sugar
• 120 ml Unsweetened apple sauce
• 1 Large egg
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 120 ml Skim milk
• 150 g Apples, peeled and diced
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly coat a donut pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, and skim milk until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the diced apples gently, ensuring they are distributed evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Sprinkle a little brown sugar over the top of each filled donut mold to add a touch of sweetness and caramelization.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the donuts warm or at room temperature, optionally dusted with additional cinnamon sugar for extra flavor.
