# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 -
1 cup all-purpose flour
02 -
1/2 cup granulated sugar
03 -
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
04 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
05 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
→ Wet Ingredients
06 -
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
07 -
1 large egg
→ Optional Toppings
08 -
Cinnamon sugar or glaze, for topping
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a donut pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until thoroughly combined.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter and egg until evenly blended.
04 -
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring just until combined and a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
05 -
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
06 -
Bake on the center rack for 18 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
07 -
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. If desired, toss warm donuts in cinnamon sugar or drizzle with glaze.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Serve warm for enhanced flavor; apples in the batter keep the donuts exceptionally moist and tender.
