Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350º F! Next, pour the canned apple pie filling into a food processor and blend until it’s nice and smooth. If you prefer, mashing it with a fork works great too! Then, mix the spice cake mix with the apple puree.
Step 2: Start by generously spraying non-stick spray onto your donut molds for an easy release. Fill each mold with the delicious donut batter and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the donuts to cool a bit before gently removing them. Just a tip: avoid overfilling to prevent crust from forming. If that happens, a sharp knife can help you trim it away!
*Baking time is approximate. Every oven is different and this may affect baking time.
Step 3: As your donuts bake, whip up the icing! Blend powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth once the donuts have been covered. Serve them warm for a delicious treat—enjoy every bite!
*Caution- Oven will be hot!
Tips:
- Add more milk to the icing mixture if the icing is too thick.
