Apple Pie Donuts
For the donuts
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- ⅓ cup golden brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon cinammon
- ¾ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup apple pie filling, chopped into small pieces
- 2 ⅔ cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup dried apple chips, broken into smaller pieces
For the cinnamon glaze
- 1 cup of icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinammon

Make the donuts
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, oil and sugars until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs, mixing to combine.
Stir in the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and vanilla extract.
Stir in the apple pie filling.
Add the flour into the wet mixture, alternating with the milk until combined. Do not overmix.
Fill your donut pans 3/4 full with the donut batter – use a piping bag or Ziploc bag with a snipped corner to pipe the batter!
Bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Do not overbake!
Remove donuts from pans and let cool on wire racks.
Meanwhile, make the glaze: whisk together icing sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon and milk.
Dunk the cooled donuts into the glaze and sprinkle liberally with the crunchy apple chip pieces.
