Donuts are my favorite treat to bake! The possibilities are endless depending on mix ins to batter and toppings. These Cinnamon Apple Baked Donuts are low fat thanks to a healthy baking hack known as applesauce which also happen to give these donuts the sweet, classical and aromatic taste of apple. Making the cinnamon sugar mix is so simple and will be the perfect finisher to the baked donuts that can be enjoyed with a warm coffee. You can omit the cinnamon sugar and glaze the donuts with Greek (vegan) yogurt and sprinkle with Supernatural Sprinkles.
