3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt

Quick & easy to make. You can have the batter whipped up in the amount of time it takes for the oil to heat. (I use a Fry Daddy.) We actually like them better after they sit for 5-6 hours rather than warm like most doughnuts I make.

Time 3h10m

Yield 12 doughnuts

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 2/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
1 cup smooth applesauce
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon, salt, baking soda and nutmeg in a medium bowl.
  • Beat 2/3 cup of the sugar and shortening in another bowl with a mixer on medium speed until sandy. Beat in the egg and yolk, then gradually mix in the applesauce, scraping the bowl. Beat in half of the flour mixture, then the buttermilk and vanilla, and then the remaining flour mixture. Mix to make a sticky dough; do not overmix.
  • Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper in a baking sheet and pat into the size of the baking sheet, about 1/2-inch thick. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Heat 2 inches of oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Cut the chilled dough into 12 rounds, using a floured 3-inch biscuit cutter, then cut out the middles with a 1-inch cutter (or use a doughnut cutter). Slip 2 or 3 doughnuts at a time into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side, adjusting the heat as needed. Transfer to the paper towels to drain.
  • Mix the remaining 1 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a medium bowl. Toss the doughnuts in the cinnamon-sugar. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Fresh Applesauce: For the best flavor, use freshly made applesauce. If you don't have any on hand, you can substitute unsweetened store-bought applesauce.
  • Buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a slight tang and richness to the doughnuts. If you don't have any buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter will make the doughnuts tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Frying Temperature: The ideal frying temperature for doughnuts is between 350°F and 375°F. Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature.
  • Drain on Paper Towels: After frying, drain the doughnuts on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Glaze: The glaze is optional, but it adds a nice finishing touch to the doughnuts. If you don't want to use a glaze, you can simply sprinkle the doughnuts with powdered sugar.

Conclusion:

Applesauce doughnuts with buttermilk are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With their soft and fluffy texture, tangy applesauce flavor, and sweet glaze, these doughnuts are sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these applesauce doughnuts a try!
