Apple Crumble Baked Donuts with Buttermilk & Cinnamon Glaze

Instructions

1. Prepare for Baking

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease two standard 6-cavity donut pans thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

2. Make the Crumble Topping

3. In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
4. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Set aside in the fridge while you make the batter to keep the crumble cold and clumpy.

3. Combine the Dry Ingredients

6. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

4. Combine the Wet Ingredients

7. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg until uniform.
8. Whisk in the buttermilk, cooled melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

5. Make the Batter

9. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula just until combined. Do not overmix — the batter should be slightly lumpy.
10. Gently fold in the diced apple until evenly distributed.
