The beautiful fall flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, and apples coming together into a wonderful cake doughnut perfect for the season!
Alright, I've been getting far too behind at life. But when you think about it, how could I not? The last month...actually just the last two weeks. I mean, how on earth could I not get behind when our office manager gets fired in a big way, me and the boyfriend call it quits, our office had a board meeting....in which we had to smooth over all the byproducts of the office manager's mess, I catered a wedding, and then a breakfast, and went out of town for three days, and to top it all off my car is in the shop. Life. Is. Awesome.
Actually life really is good. I can't complain. I mean, let's just look at that list the other way: I have a job, I have been loved, I have a semi-successful blogging life, I get to travel, I have good food and I have a car. Honestly, that pretty well puts me about the top of the ladder as far as I can see. I have a nice little life, even if it is a bit full.
I have been promising wedding catering posts. I have been promising posts about my recent trip (and that is going to be one AMAZING post!). I have two other posts that I still haven't gotten to, but since every one of those sentences started with "I have" I'm just going to go ahead and say it means I have a lot to be thankful for!
These little doughnuts are coming from the breakfast I did last week. They are chock full of yummy apples, and pumpkin and cinnamon and nutmeg, or in other words, chock full of YUM! I took a large parcel of them with us on the road trip. It was so hard not to eat them all in one sitting! I hope you like them too!
Pumpkin Apple Cinnamon Cake Donuts
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
½ teaspoon Vietnamese cinnamon
½ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup peeled, cored and chopped apple
1 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons Vietnamese cinnamon
apple cider or water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 12 doughnut molds.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, pumpkin and oil. Add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture; stirring just to moisten. Fold in apples. Spoon batter into doughnut molds filling roughly half full.
Bake for roughly ten minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool, and decorate accordingly.
To make the apple cinnamon glaze mix powdered sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl. Add cider or water until you reach the desired consistency. Dip each doughnut in and allow glaze to set.
Enjoy!

I just bought a donut pan and am waiting for it to get here! As soon as it does.. these are going to be the christening recipe!
OH MY WORD I seriously could eat every single one of those donuts. They look incredible and so delicious. Mmmm what a great flavor combo!
I have to seriously get a donut pan, these sound fabulous!
This looks scrumptious! I'm drooling a bit
Too good to pass up. I hope you don't mind, but I'm using this recipe along with your Chocolate Buttermilk Donuts recipe for the Daring Baker's Challenge this month. Love drooling over your creations.
haha, no charley i wouldn't mind at all! i am doing my daring bakers donuts next week. it's a fun challenge. :)
Delicious!
Great way to look at life! And these donuts look delicious, I've been meaning to try to make my own donuts but have been a bit skittish about the deep fried part, so this will be a great option! Thanks.
My boy loves donuts, but need to get a donuts molds first I guess :-P
ah, lovely donuts- could gobble them up within no time :P
I dont see how I could not LOVE LOVE these
When life gives you "holes", make donuts. I wish that I had donut molds to make donuts, but my husband would just eat them, and he shouldn't. I can drool over yours.
I just have to get a donuts pan, these are so tempting
lovely donuts ! thanks for sharing the recipe .
Cheers,
Elin
Those are delightful :)
Oh I love the look of the glaze on these donuts, yum! What is the difference between regular and Vietnamese cinnamon?
vietnamese cinnamon is a bastard cassia cinnamon. it's fancier and more flavorful than the commercial cinnamons you'll find at a grocery store. i know for sure it's for sale at whole foods and at penzey's spices. :) it's WELL worth it and makes a huge difference!
Oh how wonderful, a donut that's baked, not fried. And such a delish one.
oh good lord! You had to post this didn't you?! I love it! Pumpkins and apples? MMMM! They look delicious...I am making these for sure! :)
Sounds delicious. Don't have a donut pan. Could these be made as muffins?
@christi yes they can! and i have made them as mini muffins and large muffins as well! all very delicious!
I love your take on life, girl! These doughnuts sound and look amazing...can't wait to give them a try!
Oh MY! These look so good! I love anything pumpkin and especially when it comes in the form of a donut!
These look fabulous. I've only ever deep-fried donuts; baking them makes them healthier, therefore eating several is justified! I'm liking this. A lot. Must get a doughnut pan.
Loving your attitude despite it all... keep your chin up! Looking forward to your wedding catering posts.
oh my, these look delicious!
they look delish! I just made a pumpkin apple spice loaf last night and now I can't wait to try this recipe! YUM! thanks for sharing.
Yes please! I'm on deck to make cupcakes for school Halloween parties this week and am going to adapt these. Yum yum yum.
I just made your recipe. I only have one donut pan and that is for mini donuts. So I filled that then used a mini muffin pan too. Worked great just needed to bake them a little longer. They are delicious.
those look soooo good. i don't have the special dounut pan though and can't afford to buy one for just one thing. do you think it would work out to bake them on a baking sheet? similar to a biscuit. or is it more of a batter that would not work w/ that?

These doughnuts sound so outrageous, I just may have to buy myself a doughnut mold!
Everything's coming up donuts and pumpkin! I love, love, love it!
Well these look ridiculously good! Oh man oh man oh man! If I make these, I'm afraid I'll eat them all! :)
I went out to buy a donut pan after reading this and am 'armed and ready' to make these! They look delicious and I love the seasonal flavor combination. Thank you!
Made these and LOVED them! I am going to share ithe my readers too! Thanks for the recipe!
