Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3½ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • ¾ cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp allspice
  • 1¼ cups applesauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 5-7 tbsp salted butter (melted)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare 1-2 donut pans by spraying them with cooking spray.
  • Combine the all-purpose flour, granulated white sugar, salt, baking soda, and allspice in a large bowl. Stir until combined.
  • Whisk the applesauce, eggs, heavy cream, sour cream, canola oil, and vanilla extract in a separate medium sized bowl. Mix well to make sure everything is evenly combined.
  • Fold the applesauce mixture into the floured mixture until you have a sticky, thich dough. It should be a thick dough.
  • To make filling the donut pans easier, fill each donut depression with the batter using a piping bag (without a tip). Make sure each hole is about ¾ full of batter. (You can also cut a hole in a gallon sized ziploc bag if you don’t have a piping bag).
  • Bake in the oven for 16-18 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  • To make cinnamon sugar topping: In a shallow bowl, combine the cinnamon sugar and white sugar. Mix well to create cinnamon sugar coating.
  • In a separate shallow bowl, place the melted salted butter.
  • Once donuts are completely cooled, dip each donut side into the melted butter and then coat with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Plate and serve.
