Our oldest son loves apple anything (baked apples, apple crisp, apple oatmeal…) and our second and third son love doughnuts. Allie loves both. 🙂 This recipe for Apple Crisp Doughnuts is one that we love to make! It was sent to me, via e-mail, from a reader and we love it! It’s in a close running with my peanut butter protein muffins.
Apple Crisp Doughnuts:
Yield – 12 donuts plus holes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Inactive Time: 3 hours or overnight
Ingredients:
For The Donuts:
- 1 cup Crisp Apple Sparkling Ice
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
- ½ cup Sugar
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
For The Cinnamon Sugar:
- 1½ cups Sugar (or sugar blend)
- ½ cup ground cinnamon
Directions:
Part 1: Making the donut dough
- In a mixer, cream the butter and sugar together, on medium-high speed for approximately 5 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time until combined. Slowly pour in the milk and half of the Sparkling Ice to the mixing bowl.
- With the mixer on slow speed add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until just combined. The dough should look shaggy.
- Slowly pour in the remaining amount of Sparkling Ice on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Part 2: Dough storage
- Tear 2 pieces of parchment paper the size of a baking sheet.
- Line the first piece of parchment on a clean baking sheet and heavily dust with flour.
- Turn out the dough onto the floured parchment and press evenly till its about 3/4 inch thick. (If the dough seems too sticky flour your hands before pressing.)
- Lightly flour the top of the dough and place the second piece of parchment over the dough.
- Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
Part 3: Frying donuts
- In a deep frying pan, heat enough oil to come up 2 inches from the bottom to 375 degrees using a candy thermometer.
- Gently peel the top piece of parchment off the dough.
- Using a floured donut cutter, punch out dough and place in hot oil.
- Fry on each side for 2-3 minutes or until light brown. Adjust the heat if needed. Scoop onto a paper towel lined cookie sheet.Part 4: Finishing donuts
