Рецепт Mini Apple Doughnuts with a Maple Glaze
Yes! Yes! Yes!!! There is something about Fall, apples and doughnuts that just makes perfect sense! I recently came across a fellow bloggers post with a mini doughnut recipe and then a little light went off… I remembered that I had a mini doughnut pan somewhere and I needed to make apple doughnuts asap! After scurrying through the cabinets and drawers I finally found it and I am so glad I did! These Mini Apple Doughnuts with a Maple Glaze are like little bites of happy! A simple cake doughnut with an amazing glaze and finished with toasted finely chopped hazelnuts, this is a treat you are going to want to make!
The doughnuts themselves have finely chopped apple, cinnamon and maple syrup that give them their “Fall feel”. The glaze is so yummy and so simple with a whopping 2 ingredients! Powdered sugar mixed with maple syrup and voila, maple glaze! If that wasn’t enough, I topped them with finely chopped toasted hazelnuts and let me tell ya, they add the perfect little crunch! The minis are so fun! Great for a crowd and well its just really fun to eat bitesized things! Pile these little beauties up high on a platter, drizzle them good and sprinkle nuts… then watch as they get devoured! I love Fall… and doughnuts!
This recipe makes approx 4 dozen mini doughnuts. If you don’t have a mini doughnut pan you can easily sub a mini muffin pan or even just spoon a tbsp worth of the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet and make a fritter instead.
Mini Apple Doughnuts with a Maple Glaze
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 crisp apple, finely chopped
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 4 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- Additional melted butter to brush the pan
- a handful of hazelnuts {or whatever nut you've got on hand}
- For the Glaze: equal parts powdered sugar and maple syrup {5 Tbsp each of maple syrup & powdered sugar}
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon and salt.
Stir in the chopped apple until combined with the dry ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, maple syrup, egg and milk.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined. Do not over mix.
Brush the inside on the pan with melted butter to prevent sticking.
Fill each mini doughnut depression but do not overfill. If you overfill them the dough will rise and then you'll end up with a doughnut hole on one side only. {hint hint: i overfilled the first pans worth, lesson learned}.
Bake for approx 14 minutes until lightly golden.
While you are baking all the doughnuts go ahead and pop the nuts into a dry pan and toast until just lightly golden. Finely chop and set aside.
For the glaze simply mix together the equal parts maple syrup and powdered sugar until smooth. Just before serving drizzle the glaze over the doughnuts and finish with the hazelnuts.
