Baked Apple Doughnuts
My mom made these often throughout my childhood. My siblings and I loved them. It was such a treat when we would come home and they were baking in the oven. This recipe was adapted from the Beyond Parsley Cookbook-Junior League Kansas City. I made these again over Christmas break, and my daughter Rylie(my toughest critic) loved them and asked me to make her some more. So I happily obliged!
First, sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and nutmeg. Cut in the shortening until the mixture is fine.
Add eggs, milk, and apples to dry ingredients. You can add the chopped nuts here if you would like as well.
Fill well-greased tiny muffin pans almost two-thirds full(sorry, no picture) and bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Roll in melted butter and then in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Reheat at 250 degrees. These freeze well! I'm also working on making a more healthy version of these doughnuts and will let you know how they turn out.
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup shortening
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk (I use skim but any kind is fine)
1 cup grated tart apples(About one apple with skin removed)
1 cup butter, melted
Cinnamon and sugar mixture for coating
Optional: Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts
DIRECTIONS: Sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and nutmeg. Cut in shortening until mixture is fine. Add eggs, milk, and apples to dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Fill well-greased tiny muffin pans almost two-thirds full. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Roll in melted butter and then in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Reheat at 250 degrees.
Makes about 6 dozen depending how large you make them. This time around I ended up with about 5 dozen. These are a great treat at home and also make great Christmas, Valentine's, and Hostess gifts packed in cute tins. Enjoy!

Welcome!
Hi! Welcome to my blog! My name is Megan and I am a wife and mom of three kids. Rylie is 5 and I have 3 year old twins, Addie(Adelaide) and Liam(William). Addie and Liam were each born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate. They have numerous surgeries under their belt and still a few more to go, but they are doing amazing! I've started a blog because we have had feeding issues with the twins since they were born, and ALL my kids are picky eaters! We have had a ton of help with therapists and nutritionists the past three years. We have learned so much and they have come a long way. But, meal times can still be a bit stressful. There have been many times where I have made 2 or 3 separate meals at dinnertime. Can you relate? At times, it can be a little frustrating. I love finding new recipes to try to see if this one just might actually win them over completely. I hope maybe I can help other moms stressed out with their own picky eaters at meal time! And I would also like to hear about your experiences and suggestions too.
My kids love doing crafts so I'll be adding some of our creations as well. Thanks so much for visiting!
