Easy Apple Pie Doughnuts Recipe:
Contents
Apple Pie Doughnuts Recipe: for some reason, I have been on a doughnut kick lately. I usually bake my doughnuts, but frying anything is always better. And it’s not bad if you do not do it often… or at least I like to tell myself.
I like doughnuts because they are a sweet treat that you can eat at any time. They are also relatively easy to make, especially if you have a doughnut cutter. Buying a doughnut cutter is worth it if you like to make homemade doughnuts.
Once the dough is made, you are already halfway finished with the recipe. After the dough has stiffened a bit, make sure you have a well-floured surface ready. This dough can stick. Cut the doughnuts out, and then they are ready to fry. See, I told you… Easy!
These doughnuts came out with just the right amount of sweetness and bite. Also, adding the nutmeg and maple syrup made these babies taste like apple pie.
And do not forget the cinnamon sugar. It adds the finishing touch.
EAT and Enjoy with a cup of coffee, tea, or just because!
