Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
1.5 cups finely diced tart apples (Granny Smith)
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup (for glaze)
1–2 tablespoons heavy cream (for glaze)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease two 6-cavity doughnut pans.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Step 3: In a larger bowl, beat the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Whisk in the eggs, vanilla, and milk.
Step 4: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the finely diced apples gently.
Step 5: Transfer the batter to a piping bag and fill each doughnut cavity about 3/4 full. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 6: While doughnuts cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and heavy cream to create the glaze. Dip the cooled apple maple doughnuts into the glaze and serve.
Notes
Ensure the apples are diced very small so the doughnuts hold their shape. Use real maple syrup for the best glaze flavor.
