Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 c unsifted all-purpose flour
1 3/4 c sugar
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 1/2 c butter (3 sticks)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 c milk
1 c grated tart apples
1/2 c chopped nuts (optional)
2 tsp ground cinnamon

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.
