• Preheat oven to 350 ° F  (177 ° C)
  
  
• Lightly grease the slots of two donut pans.
  
  
• In a large bowl, add the melted butter, non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, applesauce, and granulated sugar. Combine well.
  
  
• Now, In a separate med-large mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Whisk to combine well.
  
  
  
• Slowly start adding the flour mixture to the wet mixture. Stir as you go along. Mix until just combined. Don't overwork the batter or it will produce a dense donut (*The batter should be thick, but if it's too dry & thick to stir, add 1-2 teaspoons of milk and combine).
  
  
• Using a spoon add your batter to a large Ziploc or decorating bag. Twist top closed and snip off one corner leaving a ½ " hole (*hold the bag upwards when cutting so the batter doesn't leak out). Pipe the batter into your greased donut pans. Fill about ⅔ - ¾ of the way full.
  
  
• Place in the oven on the middle rack for 10-12 minutes. They cook fast so keep an eye on them. To check for doneness, lightly press the surface. It should spring back.
  
  
• Remove the pans from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before touching. Now gently remove the donuts and let them cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
  
  

Powdered Sugar Coating

• *Pour the sugar into a medium plate or bowl. Dip each donut in the sugar until well coated. You can coat just half or cover the whole donut. Enjoy!
