These easy and delicious baked apple donuts are tender, sweet, and studded with pieces of tart apple. The trick is to coat the dough in lots of cinnamon sugar, and then bake them so they are still soft on the inside and have a wonderful sugar crust on the outside. Enjoy with coffee and a crossword!

And because of the influence of my husband's French grandmother, I love to cook anything with wine! The Cabernet, mushrooms, and fresh thyme gravy make this recipe delicious! Try it; you'll love it!
