How to Make Apple Butter Doughnuts

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of biscuit mix and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/2 cup apple butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Add the wet ingredients (egg mixture) to the dry ingredients (biscuit mix and sugar).
  4. Mix until just combined and smooth. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough 8-10 times.
  7. Roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
  8. Use a floured doughnut cutter to cut out the doughnuts.
  9. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the doughnuts for about 30 seconds per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Remove doughnuts and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Dip warm doughnuts in your favorite apple butter glaze and sprinkle generously with chopped nuts.
