    how to make donuts
  • In a small bowl, combine the yogurt with the milk.
  • Add egg, vanilla, vegetable oil and apples.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir to combine.
  • Spoon batter into the moulds and bake for 10 - 15 minutes (until a skewer comes out clean)
  • Pop the donuts out of the moulds and let cool on a wire rack.

Coating

  • Melt butter in medium bowl.
  • Mix cinnamon and sugar in a large bowl.
  • When the donuts are cool enough to handle but still warm, dip in butter and then dip in cinnamon sugar mix. (See tip.)
  • Serve a bit warm with Homemade Apple Cider (hot or cold).

Notes

TIP: We only coated one side of the donut but you can do both sides if you prefer. Just roll the whole donut in the butter and then in the cinnamon & sugar mix.
