Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cup(s) cake flour
3/4 cup(s) sugar
2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon(s) ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon(s) cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
3/4 cup(s) buttermilk
2 - eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoon(s) butter, melted
1 cup(s) canned apple pie filling, apples diced
1 cup(s) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
3 tablespoon(s) milk or cream

Steps:

Preheat your oven to 425F. Lightly spray 2 (6 slot) donut pans with non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Beat in the buttermilk, eggs and melted butter until fully incorporated. Add the diced apple pie filling into the donut batter and mix until evenly distributed.
Use a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip (or a Ziploc bag with a corner cut off), pipe the batter into the donut slots, 2/3 full. (You will have some batter left over. You might be tempted to place more batter into some of the slots...don't do it!)
Bake for 8 minutes or until light golden brown. Allow to cool on a cooling rack. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until sugar is dissolved. Add more or less milk to give you the desired consistency of a glaze. Dunk the tops of the doughnuts into the glaze. Then turn the doughnuts right side up to allow glaze to set. Serve while still slightly warm.
