Apple Sauce Donuts

12 ingredients
9 steps

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cups Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Shortening
  • 1/2 teaspoons Nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Milk
  • 1/2 cups Apple Sauce
  • 3 cups Vegetable Oil, For Frying

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine all of your dry ingredients in a bowl.
  2. 2
    Combine your wet ingredients in an electric mixer bowl. (The electric mixer is not completely necessary, but encouraged.) Add the dry ingredients to those in the mixer.
  3. 3
    Blend well for several minutes. Dough should be close in consistency to wet cookie dough and dry pancake batter.
  4. 4
    Heat up oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
  5. 5
    You will know the oil is hot enough when you drop dough in and the oil bubbles around it. Or if you must (and have a thermometer, which I do not), heat to 350F.
  6. 6
    Drop the batter in 1 teaspoon at a time. They expand as they cook, so less is more! Sometimes the donuts flip themselves over, sometimes you will need to help them out with tongs.
  7. 7
    When they are a medium to dark brown on each side, remove to a plate with a paper towel to allow some of the oil to run off.
  8. 8
    Roll them in sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg OR frost as desired.
  9. 9
    They go great with a big glass of milk.
