Instructions:
1. Prepare the Donut Batter:
-
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until combined.
-
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (don’t overmix). Gently fold in the chopped apple.
2. Heat the Oil:
-
Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. The oil should reach about 350°F (175°C). You can check the temperature with a thermometer or drop a small piece of dough in the oil—if it sizzles immediately, it’s ready.
3. Fry the Donuts:
-
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry the donuts in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
-
Remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
4. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:
-
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
-
While the donuts are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture, making sure they’re evenly coated.
5. Serve:
-
Serve your delicious homemade apple donuts warm, and enjoy!
Tips:
-
For extra flavor, you can add a bit of apple cider to the batter instead of milk.
-
If you prefer baked donuts, you can use a donut pan and bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes.
-
To make the donuts even more special, drizzle with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk.
These donuts are crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, with a perfect apple flavor. Enjoy making them!
