    apple donut batter
  • I scoop my batter into a large Ziploc bag, seal and snip one of the bottom corners off. Slowly pipe the batter into each cavity on the donut pan, filling each cavity only 1/2 full.

  • Let the apple donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Glaze

  • After the donuts are cool you can mix up the glaze in just minutes.
  • In a small bowl, add the sifted powder sugar, melted butter, and milk and whisk until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar.
