2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon fine salt
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
½ cup buttermilk
1 cup puréed Caramelized Apple Compote
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted + more butter for the pans)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
Nonstick donut pans for 1 dozen donuts

Steps:

  • Whisk sugar, brown sugar, egg, oil, buttermilk, apple compote and vanilla extract in a large bowl until completely smooth. Add dry ingredients and combine with a rubber spatula until the batter just comes together.

Apple 'doughnuts' image

Make these doughnut-style apple rings for a picnic with the kids. Children will love helping to make, decorate and eat these fruity treats, and there's no cooking required

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Lunch, Snack

Time 20m

Yield Makes 15

Number Of Ingredients 5

150g soft cheese
2 tsp honey
3 apples (use a crunchy eating variety)
3-4 tbsp almond or peanut butter (optional)
coloured sprinkles , to decorate

Steps:

  • Mix the soft cheese with the honey and set aside. Peel the apples, then slice each through the core into five or six rings, about 1cm thick. Use an apple corer or small round biscuit cutter to stamp out a circle from the middle of each slice, removing the core and creating 'doughnut' shapes. Pat the slices dry using kitchen paper - they should be as dry as possible to help the toppings stick.
  • Spread some nut butter over the slices, if using, then top with the sweetened soft cheese. Decorate with the sprinkles and serve.

CLASSIC GLAZED DONUTS RECIPE BY TASTY



Classic Glazed Donuts Recipe by Tasty image

Making donuts and munchkins from scratch can seem like an intimidating endeavor, but once you go homemade, it's really hard to go back to store-bought. After you make the dough and let it rise overnight, you'll cut the donut and donut hole shapes and fry them in a heavy pan. While they rest, whisk together the glaze and either drizzle over the donuts or dunk them in it. Add sprinkles if you want and enjoy your warm, fresh-baked treats - this recipe makes a lot of them!

Provided by Frank Tiu

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ cups milk, warm to the touch
1 cup sugar
½ oz yeast
1 stick unsalted butter, soft
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
5 cups flour, sifted
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
shortening, for frying
3 cups powdered sugar
1 cup dry milk powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup water, hot

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, add the milk, sugar, and yeast, stirring to combine.
  • In a separate medium bowl, add the butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, stirring to combine.
  • Add the milk mixture to the egg mixture and whisk to combine. Transfer to a large bowl and add the flour in thirds, stirring between each addition.
  • Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, until smooth. Gently poke the dough with a finger--the dough should bounce back up from the indentation.
  • Place the dough in a large bowl, and lightly coat the dough with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for an hour, or until doubled in size.
  • Take the dough out and knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and repeat with rise overnight in refrigerator.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface until ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
  • Cut out the doughnuts and donut holes with a cookie cutter and piping tip.
  • Melt enough shortening over medium heat to come up just 2 inches (5 cm) up on the side of a heavy frying pan. Heat the shortening to 375°F (190°C)
  • Fry the donuts and donut holes for 45 seconds on each side, or until golden brown.
  • In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, dry milk powder, vanilla extract and hot water until smooth.
  • Strain the glaze through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
  • Dunk the donuts in the glaze or drizzle the glaze on top.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a firm, tart apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. This will help the doughnuts stay together and give them a good flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the doughnuts tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fry the doughnuts at the right temperature: The oil should be between 350°F and 375°F. If the oil is too hot, the doughnuts will brown too quickly and won't have a chance to cook through. If the oil is too cold, the doughnuts will absorb too much oil and be greasy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Fry the doughnuts in batches so that they have enough room to cook evenly.
  • Drain the doughnuts on paper towels: This will help remove excess oil.
  • Serve the doughnuts warm: Apple doughnuts are best when served warm, but they can also be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Apple doughnuts are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect apple doughnuts every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
