Shoot! This is really the season for fresh made donut holes but I got an "under construction" sign when I clicked on your Pioneer Women url.

Not sure why, the link opens for me, but here is the recipe!
FOR DONUTS:
3 Tablespoons Sugar (for Pans)
1 cup Flour
1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1-¨ö teaspoon Baking Soda
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
¨ö teaspoons Salt
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
¨ö teaspoons Nutmeg
1 whole Egg
¨ø cups Brown Sugar
¨ö cups Applesauce
¨÷ cups Pure Maple Syrup
¨÷ cups Apple Cider
¨÷ cups Plain Greek Yogurt
3 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
_____
Topping
¨ú cups Sugar
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
¨ö cups Butter
Preparation Instructions
For the donuts:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Brush a mini muffin pan with butter and sprinkle sugar on top, shaking out the excess.
In a bowl, mix together flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, mix together brown sugar, applesauce, maple syrup, cider, yogurt, and vegetable oil.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and stir gently just until evenly blended. Divide the batter into the muffin pan, filling the cavities only halfway. Bake for 10 minutes
For the topping: (set this up while the donuts are baking)
Melt the butter. In a large Ziploc bag, combine the sugar and cinnamon. When donuts are still hot, brush them with the butter and toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
I've been looking for a pan like this for MONTHS... and I found it at Michaels, of course! duh!
The potato salad is from the deli. (I like mine better!)
