Ingredients
- Donuts:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups chopped apples, peels removed (for me this was one large apple, probably two medium)
- Oil for frying
- Glaze:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the buttermilk, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Add liquids to the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add the chopped apples and mix only until incorporated.
- Preheat your waffle iron and cook waffles according to manufacturer’s instructions. Let cool and cut into segments.
- Now, preheat your deep fryer.
- I fried two sections of the waffle at a time. You want to fry them until they are golden brown, about one minute per side. Remove donuts with tongs or a slotted spoon and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Dip the hot doughnuts into the glaze and let sit on a wire rack for 20 minutes before serving.
