Indulge in irresistible cinnamon-applesauce doughnuts for a delightful treat your family will adore!
Ingredients:
  • 3 1/3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup applesauce
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons shortening
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • Vegetable oil
  • Cinnamon-sugar mixture, if desired
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on low speed to beat 1 1/3 cups of flour and all ingredients except oil and cinnamon-sugar until blended. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally. Add the remaining 2 cups of flour and stir until combined. Refrigerate the dough for about 1 hour until stiffened.
  • Preheat oil in a deep fryer or 3-quart saucepan to 375°F. Divide dough in half and place one half on a well-floured cloth-covered surface. Roll gently in flour to coat, then roll the dough to 3/8 inch thickness. Use a floured doughnut cutter to cut out the doughnuts. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Gently place doughnuts in hot oil using a wide spatula. Flip them when they float to the surface and fry for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from oil carefully, allow excess oil to absorb on paper towels. Finish by dusting the warm doughnuts with cinnamon-sugar.
