Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two mini doughnut pans.

Step 2

Combine flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a large bowl using a fork until combined. Mix in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Combine apples, milk, and eggs in a separate bowl. Stir into flour mixture until just blended. Spoon batter into the prepared doughnut pans.
