How to Make Applesauce Doughnuts Donuts
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the applesauce, sugar, eggs, and oil until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- While still warm, optionally toss the doughnuts in cinnamon sugar for an extra delightful treat.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
