Using a spring-hinged ice cream scoop, fill each individual cavity of the silicone donut mold with 2 tablespoons batter. Place mold into the air fryer basket.
Decrease temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and cook for 8 minutes. Carefully turn out the donut bites and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Dip each donut bite into the glaze, rolling it so that all sides are covered with the glaze. Set on a wire rack to allow the glaze to dry and harden before eating.

Peeling the apples is optional, but it will give you a smoother applesauce.
If you like your applesauce chunky, leave the skins on.
Add a little bit of lemon juice to the applesauce to prevent it from browning.
You can also add other spices to the applesauce, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
Be sure to adjust the cooking time depending on the type of apples you are using.
If you are using a sweeter variety of apple, you may want to reduce the amount of sugar you add.
Store the applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
You can also freeze the applesauce for up to 3 months.
