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.

These doughnuts were delicious! I loved the way the applesauce made them so moist and flavorful. I'll definitely be making them again.

These doughnuts were a bit too greasy for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try baking them instead of frying them next time.

These doughnuts were perfect! They were light and fluffy, with just the right amount of sweetness. I loved the applesauce glaze on top. I'll definitely be making these again.

These doughnuts were a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

These doughnuts were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some extra applesauce next time.

I'm a huge fan of applesauce doughnuts and these were some of the best I've ever had. They were light and fluffy, with just the right amount of sweetness. I highly recommend them!

These doughnuts were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I've made these doughnuts twice now and they're always a success. They're so easy to make and they taste delicious. I love that they're baked instead of fried, so they're a bit healthier.
