Baked Apple Donuts

Sift together:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup sugar

Add(see directions below):
1/3 cup shortening
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup finely chopped apples

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon

Directions

  1. Cut shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture looks like coarse cornmeal. Set aside.
  2. Combine the egg, milk and apples in another bowl, mixing well. Add to dry ingredients, mixing just until blended.
  3. Spoon into 12 greased muffin cups, filling each until 2/3 full.
  4. Bake @350F for 20-25 minutes, or until done.
  5. Melt the 1/2 cup butter and set aside. Combine the remaining sugar and cinnamon, mixing well.
  6. Remove donuts immediately from muffin cups. Roll first in butter mixture coating evenly. Roll in cinnamon sugar mixture.
  7. Cool on wire racks.


*TIP* I would make a triple batch each time, as they disappear quite quickly.
