instructions

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.
