Baked Apple Cinnamon Donuts {Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free}

I finally broke down and ordered a full sized donut pan. I am so glad that I did! Donuts are my new favorite baked goodie to make. Baked donuts are so easy to make, I can’t believe that I did not try and make them sooner. My trick for making donuts easy is to put the batter into a large plastic storage bag, then snip the end off and use it to pipe the batter into my donut pan.

My husband’s favorite treat is donuts and he misses them terribly. I was so excited when these beauties came out of the oven and I dipped them in the maple cinnamon glaze. They smelled so good and I could not wait for my family to try them. I promise these baked gluten-free apple cinnamon donuts will make you smile.
