Apple Butter Cake Donuts are the perfect dessert or Breakfast Treat. Fast and easy and so delicious with a Yummy Creamy Maple Frosting.

Apple Butter Cake Donuts a breakfast,snack or dessert treat, baked soft and light. Topped with a Maple Frosting makes them perfect.

A while back I made some Apple Butter with some of the apples I had picked. I had never made or even eaten Apple Butter before. But it turned out really good and I was pleasantly surprised at how simple it was to make.

Between eating it on some toast and using it as a topping for Pancakes, I decided to do some baking. I made some Apple Butter Cinnamon Rolls ,which I topped with the same amazing Maple Frosting that I used on these Apple Butter Cake Donuts.

In this house whenever I make Cake Donuts and yes I  have made a few, from Cinnamon Cake Donuts to Mocha Cake Doughnuts they are always gone in minutes. I think it is because they are so soft and light.

They are one of those homemade treats that you can make in minutes. No messy frying with lots of pans and dishes to do. Basically a one bowl recipe, you don’t even need beaters, just a whisk.

Apple Butter Cake Donuts a breakfast,snack or dessert treat, baked soft and light. Topped with a Maple Frosting makes them perfect.

The first thing I did was whisk together the dry ingredients in a bowl, and in a separate bowl I whisked together the liquid ingredients until smooth. Then I whisked the dry into the wet ingredients and to make adding the batter to the donut pan a lot easier.

I poured the batter into a pastry bag and filled the pan. They baked for about 10 minutes. I let them cool a bit before I removed them from the pan, and of course I let them cool completely before adding any glaze.

If you like donuts with an afternoon coffee or tea or even for breakfast these will go down real easy. Enjoy!

        I make my own apple butter every year, mixing up the apples both sweet and tart. I use cardamom and ground ginger to taste as well as cinnamon and have been very happy with the result.
        I can’t wait to try these donuts before the apple butter is gone!

        These look wonderful but the apple butter is missing from the ingredient list so I’m not sure how much to use!
