How to Make Apple Doughnuts Baked

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  3. Cut in 1/2 cup shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1/2 cup milk. Add this to the dry ingredients along with 1 cup peeled and diced apples.
  5. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill greased muffin tins or doughnut baking pan 2/3 full with batter.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While still warm, gently roll each doughnut in 1/2 cup melted butter, then in a mixture of 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
