Ingredients

  • 1/3 cups Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Shortening
  • 1/2 teaspoons Nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Milk
  • 1/2 cups Apple Sauce
  • 3 cups Vegetable Oil, For Frying

Instructions

  1. Combine all of your dry ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Combine your wet ingredients in an electric mixer bowl. (The electric mixer is not completely necessary, but encouraged.) Add the dry ingredients to those in the mixer.
  3. Blend well for several minutes. Dough should be close in consistency to wet cookie dough and dry pancake batter.
  4. Heat up oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
  5. You will know the oil is hot enough when you drop dough in and the oil bubbles around it. Or if you must (and have a thermometer, which I do not), heat to 350F.
  6. Drop the batter in 1 teaspoon at a time. They expand as they cook, so less is more! Sometimes the donuts flip themselves over, sometimes you will need to help them out with tongs.
  7. When they are a medium to dark brown on each side, remove to a plate with a paper towel to allow some of the oil to run off.
  8. Roll them in sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg OR frost as desired.
  9. They go great with a big glass of milk.
