Baked Doughnuts Filled with Apple and Chocolate Glaze

Ingredients

Dough:

• 120 ml — water
• 1 g (a pinch) — dry yeast
• 1 pinch — table salt
• 20 ml (two tbsp) — vanilla extract
• 1 pinch — turmeric
• 30 ml — oil
• 25 g — solid sweetener of choice
• 230 g — whole wheat flour

Filling:

• 100–150 g — apples cooked down like jam
• 1 pinch — cinnamon

Decoration:

• 30 g — melted chocolate

Preparation

1. I mixed all the ingredients together, added the oil, and kneaded for another 1–2 minutes.
2. I left the dough to rise at room temperature until it doubled in volume.
3. I sprinkled a little flour on the work surface, rolled out 2 sheets, and cut out the doughnut shapes with a cutter.
4. I filled them with grated apple cooked down like jam, without adding any sweetener.
5. I placed another cut-out doughnut on top of the filled one.
6. I gently pressed the edges and let them rise on the baking tray for about 20–30 minutes.
7. I baked them for about 25–30 minutes at 180°C for the first 10 minutes, then reduced the heat to 150–160°C.

Additional notes

1. The apple used as filling represents the quantity of apple already cooked down.
2. About one tablespoon of apple goes into each doughnut.
3. You can fill them however you like or leave them plain.
4. I usually prepare the dough in the evening and bake it the next day.
5. They are fluffy and don't crack on top or at the sides, keeping the filling inside!
