Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. Combine the butter, apple sauce, sugar and brown sugar in a bowl. Mix until well combined- mixture should be relatively smooth.
3. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet. Barely stir in the 1 C milk. If lumps remain, it’s ok.
6. Prepare the doughnut pan with nonstick spray.
7. Pour the mixture in a large plastic bag (a makeshift piping bag). Carefully pipe the batter into the doughnut pan.
8. Bake for 8 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing doughnuts from the pan.
9. Preparing Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a plastic bag, add the cinnamon and sugar. Place the melted butter in a shallow medium bowl.
10. When ready to coat the doughnuts, lightly dip both sides in the melted butter and place in the sugar+ cinnamon plastic bag. Gently roll around till doughnut is fully coated.
