Baked Apple Donuts that are simple to throw together and the perfect way to celebrate the oncoming of a fall apple harvest!
It’s the end of August and before long, the weather will start cooling down and colder, fall temps will start moving in.
Unless of course you are in Phoenix like I am … it doesn’t really cool down at all here. By the time it does start cooling down in Phoenix, it’ll be February and there might be a wee tiny one month gap until the heat comes barreling in again.
For everyone else who lives in a normal climate … these baked apple donuts are great to celebrate the oncoming of fall. They aren’t too sweet, aren’t too heavy.. and great for anyone who isn’t really on any dietary restriction.
My kids love anything that’s loaded and dipped in sugar so obviously they were right at home with these donuts. Plus.. I told them that since the donuts had “apples” in them, that hey – they were healthy. (A far cry from being true but ….)…
