About this Recipe
Is there anything better than fresh spiced apple doughnuts? Yes… actually. The same spiced apple doughnuts with Baileys glaze. These are the perfect grownup indulgence for those cooler winter months, but in the unlikely event they don’t get eaten instantly, store them in an airtight container until you need another treat. They can also freeze for around 2 months, but we’d be surprised if they ever needed to last that long.
