Here is a delicious little donut Mom used to make all through the apple season. These minis are stuffed with diced apples and then fried. We always looked forward to these on Halloween night with a cup of hot apple cider after trick or treating.

Roll them in a cinnamon sugar mixture, or powdered sugar, or if you love icing dip them in powdered sugar and water sweet glaze.

You don't have to wait until fall to enjoy a sweet little donut hole!
