Spiced Apple Donuts

Not sure who said that but it's so true!

I'm here to give you a sugar coated treat today that you're sure to enjoy, and I certainly cannot call it a healthy treat, but hey, we need to spoil ourselves now and then not so!
I did try to get a sugar alternative, but with limited stock of most everything in our stores, I could not find any alternative.
Loads of sweeteners in tablet form, but nothing else so my diabetic hubby had to be satisfied with a sugarless donut!

This all started with leftover Bran & Oats bread dough from a loaf of bread I made this morning. One bonus from Covid19 lockdown is homemade bread as I'm not keen on buying mass produced breads any longer.

I had gorgeous Granny Smith Apples and have been hankering for Apple Donuts.

Many many moons ago my very first dear old boss used to bring us treats once a month when he went for a haircut in the same shopping mall as a wonderful German bakery;)
Whenever he came back to the office with a new haircut, we all knew the box of pastries and other delicacies would be brought out for teatime.

I think I've told you all before that once I get a bee in my bonnet, there's no stopping me.

• Bread dough was rolled out thinly
• Circles of dough cut out
• Steamed cinnamon spiced apple cubes placed in centre
• Folded over and sides sealed by pinching edges
• Deep fried in a light canola oil till golden brown
• Placed on paper towel and then dipped in a sugar cinnamon mixture

As you can see I've been a very busy bee here in my little Hive at home;)

Time for a good cup of my favourite dark roast coffee and an Apple Donut!

Just one bite and I was in pure heaven - feather light texture and spicy apple filling with the crunchy spicy sugar coating took me right back in time to my first job!

This has been my contribution to @lenasveganliving's Fruits and Veggies Monday feast; a huge thank you to Lena for keeping this tag going and also to the wonderful artist @barbara-orenya for the fun FAVM wonkies!

I normally share my FAVM blog with the Natural Medicine Community, but could just be ruining their reputation with my donuts, promise I'll bring good nourishing food next week again guys and dolls;)
