- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tsp arrowroot powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground allspice
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 Apple Cider or Old-Fashioned Sour Cream dough

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, combine 1 cup diced cooking apples (¼-inch dice), 2 tablespoons superfine sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Heat until the sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally.
-
Step 2.
Stir in 2 teaspoons arrowroot powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon ground allspice, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Simmer until the filling thickens, about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
-
Step 3.
Prepare the chosen dough (Apple Cider or Old-Fashioned Sour Cream) as directed, but roll it out to just under ½ inch thick. Using a doughnut or cookie cutter, cut out 3-inch rounds. Roll out half of the rounds to about 3¼ inches in diameter.
-
Step 4.
To assemble, lightly brush each wider dough round with 1 tablespoon milk of choice or water (at room temperature). Place 1 tablespoon of the apple filling in the center and spread evenly, leaving a ¼-inch margin around the edge.
-
Step 5.
Top the filling with a smaller dough round. Gently pinch the top and bottom rounds together to seal the edges. Then recut the doughnut with the same 3-inch cutter to seal the edges firmly.
-
Step 6.
Fry the assembled doughnuts as directed in your recipe. Allow them to cool slightly before glazing with Cinnamon Spice or Caramel glaze.
