Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and spray donut pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugars, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a small bowl, add applesauce, lowfat buttermilk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter. Whisk or stir to combine. Slowly add to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner cut off, pipe the batter carefully into prepared donut pan making sure each cavity is only ⅔ full.
Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes. Donuts should be fluffy and should spring back when touched.
Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan, about 5 minutes. Dip into glaze.
While donuts are baking or cooling, combine the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add the milk, one teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
Dip the donuts into the glaze after they’ve cooled for 5 minutes out of the oven.
