Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your doughnut pan by greasing it lightly.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Whisk them together until evenly blended.
- Cream the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter together until the mixture appears light and fluffy.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the butter mixture, beating thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the buttermilk until smooth.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold in the apple pie filling, careful to keep the apple chunks intact.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Coat the warm doughnuts generously in powdered sugar before serving.
- Enjoy warm, ideally with coffee or tea.
