Best Apples for Apple Donuts
Let’s get you started on your own delicious apple donut journey! First, grab your favorite
apple. Maybe you like ‘em tart, so granny smith are your thing. Maybe fuji or sweet tango, or red delicious are more your jam. Personally I’m a pink lady lover all the way, as they have just the right mix of sweet and tart for my taste buds.
How to Slice Apples for Apple “Donuts”
If you have an apple corer, core your apples first, then slice them into rounds. I highly recommend this apple peeler and corer to make perfect slices with minimal effort. If you don’t have an apple coring tool, simply slice the apples into rounds and then cut out the centers with a knife. A handy tip is that the large metal tips of pastry bags are just the right size to cut out the core and leave you with a perfectly round center.
How to Make Apple “Donuts”
Once your apple slices are sliced, it’s time to gather all the goodies! You just need frosting and toppings.

Then, add your toppings. Some topping ideas include:
