BAKED APPLE DOUGHNUTS

This recipe is from one of the local ladies when I was a youngster.

1 1/2 cup sifted flour
1 3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup shortening
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup grated apples
1/2 cup oleo, melted
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and 1/2 cup sugar. Cut in shortening until mixture is fine. Mix together the egg, milk, and apple. Add mixture, all at once, to the dry ingredients and mix together quickly. Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Mix together the 1/3 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Remove fritters from the pans immediately and roll in melted oleo then roll in the sugar cinnamon mixture. Delicious served warm.
