These doughnuts taste like the seasonal treats you love, but they’re baked instead of fried. Made with whole-wheat pastry flour, they boast whole-grain goodness and less sugar than most recipes you’ll find. And they’re packed with apple flavor, from both fresh apple cider and unsweetened applesauce. The batter is thick and difficult to spoon into the doughnut pan; we highly recommend using a pastry bag or ziplock bag to pipe it out.
