Wow, these mini muffins look delicious! I wish I had the ingredients on hand so I could bake them tonight. I will definitely buy what I need this weekend so we can enjoy the muffins Sunday morning. Won't these be wonderful with coffee or milk? I can smell them baking now!

I don't have a mini muffin tin. Can these be made in a regular size pan?

Hello! We have not tried this recipe in a regular size muffin tin, but we believe it would work. An approximate cooking time would be 18 to 22 minutes, or until they're cooked in the center. We'd love to know how they turn out for you!

Made these today and they tasted good but the cinnamon/sugar wasn't sticking... not sure why. Solved the problem by brushing each one with some apple cider and then rolling in the cinnamon/sugar. Yummm !!

I've always wanted to make apple donuts for myself! Will have to try this.

I made these today - they are delicious! I did make 1 substitution, I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 11 Baking Flour instead of the regular all-purpose flour. The doughnuts turned out great - cake-like, airy and moist. I ended rolling 1/2 the doughnuts in powered sugar too while still warm. This recipe's a keeper, thank you Mr. Food for sharing.
