Baked Apple Doughnuts image

These "hole-less" treats came from my mother-in-law's recipe box. She would be 92 if she was still living. She raised 4 sons who were all born within 6 years of each other. I bet she rarely got to eat very many of these when she made them!

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

DOUGHNUTS:
1 1/2 c flour
1/2 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
1 3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 c sugar
1/3 c solid shortening
1/4 c milk
1/2 c grated apples
COATING:
1/2 c melted butter
1/3 c cinnamon sugar (1/3 c sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon)

Steps:

  • 1. Grease muffins or mini muffin pans - whichever size you like best. Do NOT use cupcake liners in the pan.
  • 2. Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl. Blend well, but gently. The doughnuts will thank your efforts by being tender.
  • 3. Fill the muffin tins 2/3 full and bake 15-25 minutes at 350° depending on the size of muffin tins you use. Use the toothpick test to check for done-ness.
  • 4. While the muffins are still hot, gently roll or dip them in the melted butter and then the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • 5. Hide them from your spouse and kids. Dole them out or they will be gone before you get the kitchen cleaned up.
