The Story:
Doughnuts are healthy, right? I mean, they are better than eating a cupcake topped with butter and sugar (which is exactly what buttercream is). And these even offer a serving of fruit! Man, I love healthy recipes…
¾ cup + 1 Tb flour
¼ cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/3 cup + 1 Tb sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
½ teaspoon salt
2 Tb butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup whole milk, scalded
1 Tb plain yogurt
1 medium or small apple grated
Maple Glaze:
¼ teaspoon Mapleine
¼ teaspoon vanilla
1-2 Tb milk
1 ½ -2 cups powdered sugar
Yield: 4 regular sized doughnuts.
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray doughnut pans. (if you don’t have doughnut pans, get them! OR you can always just use muffin pans and your doughnuts just won’t have cute holes in them.)
2. In a large bowl, combine flours, sugar, baking powder, apple pie spice and salt.
3. Using a pastry cutter, cut in butter.
4. Lightly beat the egg with the vanilla, then stir into batter.
5. Add scalded (not boiled) milk and yogurt and mix only until combined.
6. Fold apple into batter.
7. Use a piping bag to fill doughnut pans about ¾ full and bake for 7-10 minutes or until the tops spring back.
8. Glaze: Whisk all ingredients together, and adjust consistency using milk and powdered sugar.
9. After letting doughnuts cool for about minutes, dip warm doughnuts in glaze and let set.
10.Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar just before the glaze sets.

Hey there, I’ve got an exhilarating YouTube tale to unveil! I was in a bit of a bind with my DIY channel, lacking the creative recognition it rightfully deserved. Then, at a vibrant craft fair, destiny introduced me to a creative virtuoso who unveiled the transformative secret behind her channel’s triumph – a YouTube promotion service https://promosoundgroup.net/collection/social-promotion/youtube-promotion/ . It was cool!

I eat cupcakes daily. Recently, I tried eating doughnuts, and they were delicious. But I haven’t tried Baked Apple Pie Doughnuts With Maple Glaze; with this article, I tried the BAKED APPLE PIE DOUGHNUTS WITH MAPLE GLAZE yesterday; it was delicious. So, with the ingredients you mentioned, I am going to try it today. Also, I got a recommendation from my friend to participate in the homedepot survey https://www.homedepotcomsurvey.co/. My friend also told me that I could win a $5000 gift card by participating in the survey. Thank You.
