Toffee bits and caramel sauce, what could be bad? Absolutely nothing!
I decided to convert my favorite apple cake recipe into donuts. And what better way to finish them off than by adding toffee bits for texture and caramel sauce for taste?
Voila, my standby apple cake was elevated to a special treat!

Toffee Caramel Apple Donuts
Makes 12 donuts

INGREDIENTS
-Spray on oil
-2 cups diced apples
-1 cup granulated sugar
-1/3 cup oil
-1 egg beaten
-1 ½ tablespoons water
-1 ½ cups unsifted flour
-1 teaspoon baking soda
-1 teaspoon baking powder
-1 teaspoon cinnamon
-½ teaspoon salt
-1 ½ cups toffee bits
-2 cups caramel sauce (store bought jar )

INSTRUCTIONS
-Spray the donut pan with oil. Wipe off the excess spray from the top of the pan.
-Combine apples and sugar in bowl and let stand for 10 minutes.
-Blend oil, egg, and water into apple mixture.
-Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and ½ cup of toffee bits. Stir everything together.
-Fill each donut mold 7/8 full with the batter

-Bake in the oven for 20 minutes
-Remove from oven and let cool about 15 minutes. Remove donuts from pan.
-Pour approximately 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce over each donut. Sprinkle toffee bits on

Over time, the caramel sauce will seep into the donut to add sweetness to each bite. Keep the donuts in the refrigerator to maximize flavor.
