Quick & easy to make. You can have the batter whipped up in the amount of time it takes for the oil to heat. (I use a Fry Daddy.) We actually like them better after they sit for 5-6 hours rather than warm like most doughnuts I make.

Time 20m

Yield 28 1 ounce doughnuts

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2-3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1/4-1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
1/4 cup milk or 1/4 cup buttermilk
oil (for frying)
sugar

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Beat in applesauce and vanilla.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk (batter will be extremely thick). In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°F.
  • Drop teaspoonfuls of batter a few at a time into hot oil.
  • Turn with a slotted spoon and fry until golden, about 1 minute on each side. Drain on paper towels; roll in sugar while warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh apples: Fresh applesauce provides the best flavor and texture for these doughnuts. Avoid using store-bought applesauce, as it may contain added sugar or preservatives that can alter the taste and texture of the doughnuts.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough doughnuts. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Use a piping bag or squeeze bottle to fill the doughnut holes: This will help you to create evenly sized doughnuts and prevent the batter from spilling out. If you don't have a piping bag or squeeze bottle, you can use a spoon to drop the batter into the hot oil.
  • Fry the doughnuts in hot oil: The oil should be between 350°F and 375°F. If the oil is too hot, the doughnuts will brown too quickly and may burn. If the oil is too cool, the doughnuts will absorb too much oil and be greasy.
  • Drain the doughnuts on paper towels: This will help to remove excess oil from the doughnuts.

Conclusion:

Applesauce drop doughnuts are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create these delicious doughnuts in your own home. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give applesauce drop doughnuts a try.
