Oven-Baked Apple Doughnuts

Posted on the 16 January 2012 by Courtyb34 @CourtyB34
I had a real urge to bake yesterday. I went on Pinterest and found the perfect recipe, because the ingredients consisted of everything I had in the house already. When I made them, they went by so fast! I guess they were pretty popular. Next time I make them though, I am going to put cream cheese in the middle of them. I make so many things with cream cheese in the middle, it's crazy! But cream cheese is very good and somewhat nutritional. I got this recipe from Our Chocolate Shavings. It's a cute blog that I have viewed before, with amazing dessert recipes. I got this awesome recipe from them, but my doughnuts turned out a little different them their's. Such as, they don't look the same, but I think my doughnuts turned out just fine. The reason they don't look the same is because I didn't coat the doughnuts after they were done baking, I forgot that there was another part to the recipe but they tasted just fine. When I make them again, I will coat them and put cream cheese in them.

I sliced mine in little checker-board style. It was easy for rubbing together with the flour. I would mix the butter and the flour mixture with my hands (and I did), it's just so much easier to make the flour mixture into coarse crumbs this way.Oven-Baked Apple DoughnutsOven-Baked Apple DoughnutsOven-Baked Apple Doughnuts

I poured a little bit of organic apple cider in this mixture, just to add to the apple. Oven-Baked Apple DoughnutsOven-Baked Apple DoughnutsOven-Baked Apple DoughnutsFold in the chopped up apples, and pour the apple/egg mixture into the flour mixture.
