Servings
  • 1 cup flour

  • cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt room temperature
  • ½ cup milk + 1 tablespoon, room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons apple butter
  • 1 tablespoon butter let cool, melted and cooled

Maple Frosting

  • ½ cup powdered sugar aka icing sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ½ tablespoon milk more or less depending on how thick you like it

Instructions

Maple Frosting

  1. In a small bowl combine powdered sugar, vanilla and maple syrup if it is too thick add 1/2 tablespoon of milk, mix until smooth.

Notes

  • No donut pan, no problem! Try mini bundt cake pans, use a standard size muffin pan or make doughnut ‘holes’ by using a mini muffin pan. Baking time may increase or decrease depending on pan type.
  • Check your donuts a few minutes before they are done to avoid a dry baked donut. A few moist crumbs attached when doing the toothpick test are okay! 
  • While these baked apple donuts are best fresh, they can be stored up to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Don’t stack the doughnuts otherwise the glaze will stick! Bring to room temperature before serving. 
  • You will need to freeze these apple butter donuts before adding the maple glaze. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and flash freeze. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer safe bag and store for up to two months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for a few hours.
