# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
07 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

08 - 1 cup buttermilk
09 - 2 large eggs
10 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

→ Additional Mix-ins

11 - 1 cup finely chopped apples

→ Glaze

12 - 1 cup powdered sugar
13 - 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
14 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a donut pan to prevent sticking.
02 - Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl until evenly mixed.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until fully blended.
04 - Add wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Carefully fold in the chopped apples.
05 - Spoon batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
06 - Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Dip cooled donuts into the glaze and allow to set before serving.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For best texture, avoid overmixing the batter to keep donuts tender.
