Ingredients

⅔ cup Cinnamon Applesauce if plain applesauce, add teaspoon cinnamon
1 ¼ cup Self-Rising Flour (note 1)
⅓ cup Finely Grated Green apple unpeeled, or peeled, 1 small apple

Cinnamon Sugar

½ teaspoon Cinnamon
¼ cup Sugar (note 2)
2 tablespoons Coconut Oil melted, or melted vegan butter

To work the dough/knead

2-3 teaspoon Melted Coconut Oil

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly oil paper with cooking oil spray. Set aside.
In a small bow, prepare the cinnamon sugar for later. Stir sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Grate a small green apple finely. Squeeze the grated apple in your hands to remove the juice. Set the grated apples aside.
In a mixing bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, add self-rising flour, cinnamon applesauce, and shredded, squeezed green apples.
Stir with a rubber spatula, then oil your hands and knead the dough. If it is too moist—this happens if you didn't squeeze out all the apple juice—stir in more flour 1 tablespoon at a time. You can also use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment for this step.
Keep kneading, and adjust flour if needed until a soft dough ball forms. Rub the dough with melted coconut oil or light flavor oil.
Grease your hand with oil, grab about a tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball, and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the dough balls. Spray avocado oil on top of the balls, leaving 1 inch (3 cm) apart as they expand.
Bake the donut holes at 350 °F (180 °C) for 10-12 minutes until puffy and golden brown. They will have a rocky shape and look white and dry. That's normal.
To make these apple balls taste like donuts, brush each warm donut hole with melted coconut oil using a pastry brush. Then, roll the warm, oiled balls into cinnamon sugar to coat evenly.
Serve warm immediately.

Notes
