Gluten Free Oven-Baked Apple Donuts

I loved these little bite size donuts.

Bursting with little chunks of apple and a sweet cinnamon topping you can't go wrong.

Be sure to finely chop your apples!

Gluten Free Oven-Baked Apple Donuts

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup white sugar

1 1/2 cups finely chopped apple, peeled and cored

1 1/2 cups GF mix

2 t. xanthan gum

2 t. baking powder

1/4 t. kosher salt

1 t. nutmeg

1/3 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces

2 eggs

1/4 cup milk + 1 t. vinegar

Coating:

1/4 cup butter, melted

1/3 cup sugar

1 t. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350.  Whisk flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, sugars, salt and nutmeg together.  Add in the cold chopped butter.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.  Mix in the milk/vinegar and fold in the chopped apples.  Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and mix by hand until just blended.  Place a spoonful of batter into a greased mini muffin tin.

Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden.  Remove from oven and lightly brush with melted butter.  Roll in a bowl with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.  Shake off excess sugar and enjoy immediately.
