I make this recipe, or at least very similar, mine calls for 1/3 cup white sugar, 1/3 cup shortening, and 3/4 cup apple. This has been a family favorite and a regular go to in winter! I am not reposting with the change in quantities as the recipes are so close. This is a nice cake donut, and I make mine in a mini muffin tin. We all enjoy them alot!

Good recipe. Definitely more of a muffin-type texture than doughnut, but we really enjoyed them. I substituted margarine for shortening. I think it workd well. I would have liked more of an apple flavor to these. I think I will add more apple next time. Kids and DH enjoyed them. I will make these again.

Love these muffins! We made them without cupcake liners and rolled the entire muffin in the cinnamon/sugar/butter mixture. Made 6 regular size muffins and a tray of mini-muffins. Bite-sized ones were better it seemed, more cinnamon to the "bite". Grandkiddies loved them and we'll make them again! Thanks Julie for sharing!

Yummy breakfast this morning! The kids said they tasted more like apple biscuits but they thoroughly enjoyed them. I made a double batch as this took my whole apple. I got 12 good size muffins. Thanks, Julie!
