Apple Spice Donuts

This post is short and sweet.  Short, being that I have been a little under the weather today and really not feeling quite as festive as I would like.  Darn allergies!  Sweet, because I am posting my sweet, sugary, delicious Apple Spice Donuts.  They are sooo good …

I seem to still be on an apple kick.  Apple cake, apple donuts …good stuff! This recipe has just the right amount of apple and spices to make these donuts a fall breakfast favorite of mine.  Even my picky eater liked them 🙂

Love these donuts with my morning cup of decaf coffee or tea.  I like them best when they are first made and still warm …mmmm …they truly do melt in your mouth.  Very moist!

I am bringing these to Fiesta Friday.  I hope everyone likes them as much as we do.  Come on over and join the fun with me.  Click here!  🙂

Happy Baking!
