[...] news… I made some amazing muffins this evening. I got the recipe over at Owlhaven for these Baked Apple Donuts. I didn’t have any apples on hand, but I had two pears, which was just the right amount. I [...]

Just made these today. I didn’t have any apples so I used pears. Absolutely yummy as well. And I didn’t both chopping them, I just grated them with my cheese grater, peel and all!
I was hoping to keep half out for breakfast this week and put half into the freezer but we already ate four of them so there will be a few less in the freezer! Totally yummy though.

I just sampled one of these 15 minutes removed from the oven and they are absolutely amazing! Thanks for the recipe!

Mary, I’m a little late in commenting here, but I wanted you to know that we made these muffins yesterday and they were absolutely extraordinary! As a perpetual dieter, I tweaked the recipe just a bit (mostly so I could justify eating one . . . or maybe two!) I used one cup of whole wheat flour and two cups white; I used 1/2 cup applesauce and 1/4 cup shortening (instead of all shortening), and I brushed the muffins with butter instead of dipping them entirely. I’m sure your Mom’s original recipe is just that much more spectacular, but mine turned out pretty darn good (if I do say so myself) – - – and now the whole house smells like autumn.

Thanks for the recipe!

Wow- they look so yummy. I can just imagine them with some hot cider or tea… by the fireplace…curled up with a good book… OK, who am I kidding! It’s still over 105 degrees in AZ

PS- do you recommend a particular apple? I figure something “tart” like braeburn or granny smith…? Thanks!

I’m working all this week, then going out of town for a church Women’s Retreat, so I printed out the recipe for next chance at the oven.

When I bake them, I’m going to substitute a cup of quick oats for the flour.
Something about apples and oats that I like together.

The dip in sugar/cinnamon is a nice touch.

I so want to make these. Could they use a touch of vanilla?
