Baked Apple Pie Donuts

What a better way to start a cold, snowy day than with some warm, freshly baked apple donuts!  I always have apples on hand and was in the mood for donuts. The house smelled so good and the oven being on made the kitchen warm and toasty. These may not be the prettiest ..... but they ARE the tastiest!

BAKED APPLE PIE DONUTS

Makes 9 Donuts

1 Donut = 3 PointsPlus™

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup Splenda granulated
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup (5 TBSP) cold light butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup fat-free egg substitute
1/4 cup fat-free milk
1 1/2 cups apples (peeled, cored & chopped)

Preheat oven to 350º. Spray a donut mold pan; set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, splenda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a medium bowl, mix together the egg substitute and milk. Fold in the apples. Add to flour mixture using a spatula or spoon.

 

Place 2 TBSP of mixture into each donut section.

 

Bake 15 – 18 minutes or until donuts are just golden.

Allow to cool 4 minutes in the pan and then remove to cool on a rack.

The donut in the front shows the top; the one in the back shows the bottom.



Enjoy!
