Today I have some fall yumminess! I don’t think that is a word, but we will pretend…Okay? Just the title says how good these are going to be!
I have to admit that these are not the most photogenic donuts, but I was tired and dealing with sinus problems when I made these, so I did not decorate them or make them look pretty…but they are still full of deliciousness!
I made these with my doughnut pans, but you could also make these as cupcakes! They would be cute with some fall sprinkles or with the icing piped on!
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 Granny Smith apple-peeled and finely diced
- Mix all together in small saucepan and cook till soft about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
- 1 spice cake mix-(15.25 oz)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup butter-melted
- 1 cup brown sugar-packed
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 cups powdered sugar- more or less to consistency
- hot water-optional
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray doughnut pans with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Mix cake mix, milk, eggs, butter, and flour just until mixed. Fold in the cooked apples. Spoon into doughnut pans, filling two-thirds full. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool in pans for five minutes before removing to a rack to cool completely.
- In a saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter. Add the brown sugar. Bring to a boil and lower heat to medium low and continue to boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cool to lukewarm. Gradually add sifted confectioners’ sugar. Beat until thick enough to spread. If too thick, add a little hot water.
- Frost doughnuts and top with sprinkles or nuts if desired.
- These would also make great cupcakes if you do not have a doughnut pan. Just let them bake a little longer until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Do you need an easy treat that is packed with yummy goodness? You might want to give these a try!
Thanks for visiting today!

Just a note for those interested. I went to Alphagraphics yesterday to get my conference Ensign spiral bound…and they told me that it was going to cost more than ten dollars!!! I asked them why the cost had gone up so much and they told me it was a company decision, but they did have a smaller version of the conference talks and it was only $2.50. It is spiral bound and has all of the talks, but none of the pictures. So I decided to go that route. It will be great to throw in my purse or church bag! Just a thought for those of you that are local. I will still use my regular Ensign for the 40 day challenge…because of the page numbers.
