Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3. In a second bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
4. With your hands, squeeze the grated apples to remove as much apple juice as possible and add the squeezed grated apple to the dry ingredients.
5. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix, but NOT TOO MUCH.
6. Butter a mini-muffin tin and evenly distribute the batter.
7. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
8. In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Let it cool.
9. In a separate bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar.
10. Dip the doughnuts in the butter, then roll them in the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
