Apple Cinnamon Sugar Doughnuts

The addition of apples makes these baked doughnuts soft and moist. Once the batter is mixed, it’s best to bake them as soon as possible.

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) all-purpose flour

• 2 tsp (10 mL) baking powder

• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt

• 1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cardamom (optional)

• 2 Ontario Eggs

• 2/3 cup (150 mL) granulated sugar

• 3/4 cup (175 mL) coarsely grated peeled Ontario Apple

• 1/4 cup (50 mL) buttermilk

• 2 tbsp (25 mL) vegetable oil or butter, melted

• 3/4 tsp (4 mL) vanilla

Cinnamon Sugar:

• 6 tbsp (90 mL) granulated sugar

• 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) ground cinnamon

• 6 tbsp (90 mL) butter, melted

Preparation

In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cardamom, if using. In large bowl, whisk eggs with sugar; stir in apple, buttermilk, oil and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until moistened.

Spray two 6-doughnut pans with cooking spray. Fill each cavity with about 1/4 cup (50 mL) batter. (If you have only one pan, cover and refrigerate remaining batter.) Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until doughnuts spring back when touched and are light in colour. Let cool in pan for 3 minutes; invert onto rack and let cool completely. Repeat with remaining batter if necessary, cleaning and re-spraying pan.

Cinnamon Sugar: In medium bowl, mix sugar with cinnamon. Brush or dip doughnuts in butter to coat all over. Dip doughnuts into cinnamon sugar, pressing lightly to adhere.
