Ingredients

Scale

Donuts:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chopped apples, peels removed
  • Oil for frying

Glaze:

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Donut Batter: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped apples.
  3. Cook Waffles: Preheat a waffle iron and cook the batter according to manufacturer’s instructions. Allow waffles to cool and cut into segments.
  4. Fry the Donuts: Preheat a deep fryer. Fry the waffle segments until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Glaze the Donuts: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze. Dip the hot donuts into the glaze and let them sit on a wire rack for 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a dash of nutmeg or cardamom to the donut batter.
  • Make sure the oil is at the correct temperature (around 375°F) for frying to ensure a crispy exterior.
  • Experiment with different apple varieties for unique flavor profiles.
