Ingredients

Apple Donut:

  • 2 cups pancake mix
  • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup milk (I used 1%)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 Tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 cup apple, finely diced

Crumb Topping:

  • ¼ cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously spray donut pans with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the donut batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined and lump-free. Add the milk, egg, and melted butter, then stir until smooth. Fold in the finely diced apples until evenly distributed.
  3. Fill the donut pans: Transfer the batter to a zipper or piping bag and cut a triangle from the end large enough to allow the apples through. Pipe the batter into each donut mold about ¾ full to allow room for rising. Alternatively, spoon the batter into each mold.
  4. Make the crumb topping: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Use a fork to work the mixture into small crumbs; avoid overmixing to prevent forming a paste.
  5. Add topping and bake: Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly and generously over each donut. Bake for 10–12 minutes until donuts are cooked through and topping is set.
  6. Cool and serve: Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing with an offset spatula. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
