These donuts with caramel apple funnel cakes are a delicious take on the traditional fair treat. They have a crunchy exterior, a tender interior, and a rich caramel and apple flavor. Ideal for a playful and decadent dessert!
Instructions: Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix the milk, applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Blend thoroughly. Stirring until just combined, gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Take care not to overmix; a few lumps are acceptable. Preheat the oil in a deep skillet or frying pan to 175C 350F. Fill a plastic bag or squeeze bottle with the donut batter, cutting a small hole in the corner to make dispensing easier. To make the traditional funnel cake shape, squeeze the batter into the heated oil in a circular, crisscrossing pattern. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. After removing the donuts from the oil with a slotted spoon, set them on paper towels to absorb any remaining oil. While the donuts are still warm, drizzle caramel sauce over them and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Enjoy your delectable Caramel Apple Funnel Cakes Donuts right away after serving!
