Apple Fritter Donuts

These Perfect Pastries Pay Homage to Apple Season

Dry Ingredients

1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour 
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

Wet Ingredients

5 eggs
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup apple juice {unsweetened}
1/4 cup +1 teaspoon avocado oil
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 large red apple, peeled, sliced & chopped very fine

Donut Glaze

3 tablespoons palm oil shortening  
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Make glaze for the donuts first.  In a double boiler, combine the oil or ghee, honey & cinnamon. Whisk until completely smooth. Remove from heat & set aside. You will need to go back & whisk this about every 7-10 minutes until the donuts are done because the oil will try to separate from the honey.

Use 1 teaspoon of the avocado oil to lightly grease the donut pans. Peel & chop the apple.  the pieces should be very small (I prefer to use my electric chopper for this). Evenly distribute the apple pieces into all the wells of the donut pans.

Combine the dry ingredients into a medium mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients &  pour the liquid into the dry ingredients & whisk until smooth.

Evenly pour the batter into the donut wells, over the apple pieces, making sure that you leave enough room for them to rise & not cover the hole of the donut. 

Bake donuts 11-13 minutes. Once done, cool in the pan for 5 minutes & then loosen them from the pan with a rubber spatula & place them on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.  

Once slightly cooled, drizzle the cinnamon glaze over the donuts & serve. Store leftovers in the fridge.
