Notes
You can coat the donuts with cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, or leave plain. Want to spice it up? Add a pinch of cloves or chopped apples to the mix. Store donuts in an airtight container for 2 days or refrigerate up to a week. Freeze individually wrapped for longer storage. Reheat in oven or microwave with a damp paper towel.
