• Preheat oven to 350°F.

Cooked Apple:

• Finely dice one apple into small bite-size pieces. Bring a small frying pan to medium/high heat and add your apples. Sprinkle with coconut oil, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a few dashes of salt. Continue cooking and stirring for 3-4 minutes until the apples are tender. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool and drain any excess moisture.

(Optional) Toasted Coconut & Pumpkin Seeds:

• Add butter to a small frying pan over medium heat. Then add the shredded coconut and a dash of salt. Stir continually for several minutes until the coconut turns golden brown. Repeat the same process for the pumpkin seeds. Cook until the seeds turn an amber color. Be careful not to burn.

Donuts:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients including eggs, coconut oil, pure (or imitation) maple syrup, apple cider, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until well-blended.

  Add the dry ingredients, including almond flour, tapioca flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well-blended.

  Stir in the cooked apple bits.
• Generously spray your metal or silicone donut pan. Fill the donut cavities with roughly 1/4 cup of apple cider donut batter.

  Bake in the oven at 350°F for 18-20 or until the sides and top turn golden brown. Remove from the oven allow the pans to cool on the counter for 10-15 minutes before removing the baked donuts. All the donuts to cool completely before applying the glaze.
• Add several drops of maple syrup to the bottom of a microwave-safe bowl. Add the white chocolate chips or melting wafers to the bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between. Cooking for longer could overheat the chocolate, causing it to 'break' and become dry and chalky. After 2-3 intervals, the chocolate should be smooth and creamy.
• Option 1: Dip the donut in the bowl of melted chocolate. 

  Option 2: Spoon the chocolate over the donut, allowing it to drip over the sides for a more rustic look.

  Place on a sheet of parchment paper. Sprinkle with a light dusting of cinnamon. Then add toasted coconut and pumpkin seeds. Allow the donuts to cool on the counter and the chocolate to set before enjoying.
