• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/3 cup apple pie filling, no large fruit pieces

• 1 tablespoon cinnamon

PREPARATION:

1. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375°F with a rack in the center of the oven.
2. Add the yeast and warm cider to a small bowl and set aside until it foams up, about 5 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, combine the 6 tablespoons melted butter and sugar and whisk until combined.
4. Whisk in egg yolks, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, yeast mixture, and 3 cups of the flour.
5. Beat on medium-low speed with an electric mixer or dough hook until smooth.
6. Add remaining flour and beat until a ball of dough starts to form.
7. Transfer dough to a large bowl that’s been greased with oil or nonstick spray.
8. Cover and set aside in a warm spot until dough has tripled in size, about 1 hour.
9. Gently punch down dough, turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead dough 7-8 times until smooth and uniform in texture.
10. Roll dough out to 1/2-inch thick rectangle, and cut out in circles using a 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter.
11. Re-roll scraps and cut out enough donuts to make 12 total.
12. Place donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
13. Cover lightly with Saran Wrap and let rise until puffy, 45 minutes.
14. Bake until golden brown and puffed, 10-12 minutes.
15. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar.
16. Brush donuts with remaining melted butter and roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
17. If your apple pie filling has large chunks, mash it using a fork or immersion blender into small pieces. (It doesn’t need to be pureed.)
18. Place apple pie filling in a piping bag, cut a slit in each donut and pipe filling into each one.

Enjoy!
