- 1 1/2 cups of All purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp yeast

- 1/4 cup Grated Red Apple or Apple sauce
- Oil for cooking the donut
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
Optional Ingredients
- Organic sugar or other vegan sugar
Instructions
- Mix flour, yeast, plant based milk, grated apple in a bowl. (Optional: Add 1 teaspoon of sugar) Knead it well until you can make a smooth ball.
- Add coconut oil to the bowl. At first the oil is just going to coat the outside of the dough and will not mix well. Knead it until the oil is thoroughly mixed into the dough.
- Set it to rest in a warm place for 1 hour. Cover over the bowl so the dough doesn’t dry up.
- At this point the dough should have at least doubled in size. Separate the dough into 8 parts
- With a donut cutter or with your hand make 8 donuts out of the dough
- Add one tablespoon of coconut oil to the sauce pan. Set it on low and put the donuts in the pan and put a lid over it. In about 2 minutes, or when the bottom side is lightly brown, flip the donut to the other side. (Cook time about 7 minutes total)
- Coat with cinnamon and organic sugar
Notes
Resting the dough: If you live in a cold place or you are making this during winter, please put the dough in the oven and put the oven light on. The oven doesn’t need to be turned on. Just turning on the oven light will keep the temperature warm while you rest the dough and waiting for it to rise. To my sweet toothed chefs - this recipe may not be sweet enough: please adjust the sweetness to your likening by sprinkling cinnamon and organic sugar Use vegan sugar Apples: choose apples that are red and tend to be on the sweeter side like Fuji, Gala, Pink Lady etc. You can choose a green apple but that will give this donut more of a tangy taste.
