Apple "donut" recipe

Apple "donut" recipe

One of my favorite family traditions is picking apples in the fall. The orchard we visit has so many fun activities for the kids like zip lines, go kart racing, and swimming pig races 🐷 (I never knew pigs could swim before finding this place). And after the picking, comes weeks of baking- usually pies, breads, and cakes. This year, we decided to try our hand at the apple "donut" pastries I keep seeing on social media. Not only are they delicious, but they're easy to make as well! The perfect treat to pair with your coffee or tea in the fall.

Ingredients:

2 sheets of puff pastry (homemade or store bought works, too)
3 tablespoons of raw sugar
2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
4 large peeled apples
egg wash or milk

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

2. Roll out your puff pastry sheets and cut 1/2" strips with a knife or pizza cutter

3. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl

4. Cut apples into thick slices and cut a hole (for the donut shape) in the middle of each slice

5. Wrap the pastry strips around each apple slice, weaving in and out of the hole and using a bit of egg wash or milk to help it stick if needed.

6. Brush the tops with egg wash or milk and sprinkle each "donut" with the sugar/cinnamon mixture

7. Bake the "donuts" on a lined baking sheet for 12-15 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown.

8. Cool and serve.

9. (Optional: top with homemade salted caramel. See Jessica's recipe here.)
