Baked Apple Fritter Doughnuts, gluten free

Baked Apple Fritter Doughnuts, gluten free

My husband adores the sticky fried apple fritters that you buy at the grocery store. I cringe when he picks them up, and I really hate that he's eating saturated fat, sugar and chemicals.
Did you know that a store bought Apple Fritter has 300 calories? Yikes!
So, today I made a healthy Gluten Free Baked Apple Fritter Doughnut recipe for him. I hoped would please him and they did!  That just made my day.  :)
