4.Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
5.Fill the donut pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about ¾ full.
6.Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the donuts are lightly golden.
7.Prepare the topping: In a small bowl, mix the coconut sugar and cinnamon.
8.Coat the donuts: Once the donuts are slightly cooled, lightly brush the tops with a little melted coconut oil, then dip them into the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
9.Serve and enjoy your plant-based apple donuts warm or at room temperature!
*These donuts pair well with coffee or a warm apple cider. You can also drizzle them with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and plant-based milk if you want an extra treat!
