Homemade baked Donuts

A quick post before we get busy for the day Apple picking!

I sure love this time of year when the air is crisp and the leaves all change colors, fall and cover the ground. The smell of apples and pumpkins in the air and big comfy sweaters are in style. Time seems to slow down a little bit this time of year and we get to enjoy life a little better.

I made these apple cinnamon BAKED donuts in celebration of fall and having a party! I was going to buy some, but I didn't really find what I wanted, so...... I found a $8 donut pan at Walmart and got busy. I wanted to share the the recipe I used. I found it online, but added a few touches of my own.  I believe they were a big hit! Here it is!!



Ingredients:
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 ½ tablespoon pumpkin pie spice 
  • 2 tablespoon butter, melted 
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 ½ cup fresh apple, peeled and grated
For the Coating:
  • Melted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 400
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice. 
  3. In another large bowl, stir together melted butter, eggs, sugar, buttermilk and applesauce.  Stir in fresh apple.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet and mix well. 
  5. Spray the donut pan with a non-stick baking spray. 
  6. With a measureing spoon, scoop batter into the cavities of the donut pan.  Fill each cavity 2/3 to 3/4 of the way full. To help donuts keep their pretty shape when baking. Bake at 400 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes, until the tops of donuts spring back slightly when touched.  Let cool 5 minutes before removing from pan.
  7. For the outside coating, combine sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Dip each donut quickly into melted butter.  Then dip into cinnamon sugar and toss to coat generously. Let cool and enjoy!!!

The Strength In Our Scars

Mental Health. Depression.  Anxiety.  I know I missed "Mental Health Day", but this is something that needs to be talked about more than just one day in October. This is something that needs awareness and education everyday. More than "40 seconds of action". Come on! I wanted to share this even more when recently I found out a beautiful young girl I know is suicidal. She reached out. She got help and her courage inspires me. What I would do to hold her tight and take her pain away. So let’s talk about it for a second. This has been sitting on my chest and weighing me down for far to long. Something no one likes to talk about. We ALL have mental health. We all have highs and we all have lows, some lower than others. It's something that needs to be normalized. The way a cold is simply just that, normal, everyone gets a cold. This is a far too sensitive subject. You have a cold? You take medicine. You have cancer? You get treatment. You break ...

Hello!

It’s been such a long time since I blogged. Since I wrote about what’s on my heart. So much has changed, yet so much has simply stayed the same.  I started writing this post last August 2024 - over a year ago now! But I obviously didn't get very far. Always drinking in the last drop of golden summer sun and air, enjoying all my kids home, distracted by life. A beautiful beautiful life! So here I am now, trying to get one post in before the year turns over to a new one again! We are 3 days away from Christmas, so we’ve been busy with the hustle and bustle. 2025 has been a good year.  Last August (2024) when I started this post-, I was probably dreaming of a baby to hold in my arms, as I have for many years before- well after many negative pregnant tests -February 2026 that dream will come true!! We are adding to the clan! So here I am in the third trimester. I really wanted to enjoy this pregnancy because it will definitely, most likely be my very last. It’s been a tough pregna...

Spring ahead

                                           While I’m out and down with a spell of something that I’m hoping isn’t bronchitis or lead to pneumonia- negative for the flu, COVID and RSV at least, I figured I’d come try and write a little. I’ve been so weak and tired and out of sorts. I’ve read two books this week and started my third.  As spring turns over to summer. The temperatures rise. The rain falls. The grass grows tall. The bugs crawl from their hiding places. The people emerge from their homes, ready to fling open the windows and take in the spring breeze to cleanse the winter blues and dust from their homes. The kids are shooed outside to soak up the fresh air and sunshine. The radio plays our favorite songs. There’s the unmistakable sound of the hose being turned on. Shoes are abandoned in a chaotic pile near the front door and long forgotten. Barefoot running throug...
