Didn't have cloves in the house, turned out great. Next time will dust with powdered sugar. Quick & easy when you want donuts!

These were great. I only added the cinnamon and I increased the vanilla to 1 tsp. Just my preference. I only had sweetened applesauce so I decreased the white sugar a little. I didn't have a candy thermomator so I adjusted the temperature a couple of times. Mine also came out shaped oddly too. Definitley not holes but super tastey none the less. Light and crisp. I also drained on brown bag and stored any left overs in small brown lunch bag. It was great because it didn't involve yeast and rolling out dough. Thanks for the super easy recipe!

These were delicious. I rolled them in cinnamon sugar. My kids absolutely loved them. I liked that it made a lot as they never seem to get enough of homemade doughnuts. Next time I will add more cinnamon and nutmeg along with some ginger.

Not one for deep fat frying, I mixed up these doughnuts for my daycare kids, with the vanilla but completely without the spices, and fried them on a griddle sprayed with cooking spray. I had the griddle about 325 degrees, fried them well and sprinkled with powdered sugar and the kids ate them like there was no tomorrow. Great recipe!

We were mixed on these. Batter was kindof thin, made ithard to drop in oil. They were more cake like then we were expecting (We were hoping for a lighter fritter style consistency) I rolled them while hot, in cinnamon-n-sugar. Served these with homemade hot fudge sauce II from this site and I think that is what made them good. Alone, they aren't that great.........not bad, just not to our liking! Should be eaten within a few hours of making.

I am not normally one for writting reviews but today I felt compelled. I made these donuts almost exactly to recipe, the only difference was I used cinnamon applesauce instead of unsweetened, and they came out absolutely delicious but no matter what I did I could not make them resemble munchkins as the dough was too runny.

All I can say is "thank you". These are so good. All my kids loved them. It made a bunch so we will have some left for breakfast. I used a batter dispenser to make donut shape but I think the holes would be even better. Will try that next time. this recipe is a keeper!!

These were great! My husband and step-son had these all gone within an hour! (Okay, I helped a little!)

Very good. Followed the recipe (besides I forgot to add the oil until I reviewed the recipe before puting the batter into the pot) and I didnt use four cups of oil and it still came out well! All i must say is that you should not expect the dough to be perfectly round like munchkins when they come out. I rolled mine in a cinammon sugar combo and enjoyed.

This made plenty of doughnuts! I added 1 shredded apple and 1 package of apple cider drink mix. These turned out pretty good.

Ok, seriously yummy. The kids wanted doughnuts this morning and we amazed them by whipping up a batch in less than 40 minutes. One suggestion I have for making this recipe is make sure your dropping the batter in the oil in the "level tablespoon" size and no larger...otherwise, you've got a yummy looking raw-in-the-middle dough ball. The tablespoon amount of batter gives you a "doughnut hole" sized doughnut. Also, drain them on a paper bag instead of papertowel...it tends to keep them crisper since the papertowel creates a "steaming" effect. Cheers!

These things were awesome! I followed the recipe exactly as it is. I suggest that you do not make a lot at a time because you will eat them all in one sitting. They are so good!

These were quite good. I halved the recipe for three of us and still had several left over, and we pigged out :)

These were good for about one hour, then they just tasted like oil laden balls.

This was not the recipe that I was looking for, but tried it anyway. WOW! My husband has made me promise not to make them again soon because he couldn't stop popping them! I followed recipe and advice from reviews, using pumpkin instead of applesauce but also added finely chopped apple to the batter. I used a candy thermometer with a pan on the stove, which seemed to work best below 375 degrees- more like 325-355. Also, small teaspoons of dough instead of larger sized doughnuts allowed the centers to cook better for me. This recipe wil be used often in the fall, particularly while DH is working and the kids can get some! Thanks for posting it for us!

Very tasty, and I will make them again. I substituted canned pumpkin measure for measure for the applesauce successfully. I also added a bit more milk to make a runnier batter and used a doughnut batter dropper to get real doughnuts with holes.

Since I was out of applesauce I used pumpkin instead. I thought they turned out fine giving it 3 stars - but since my kids loved them I gave the recipe 4 stars. We liked them best with a simple maple glaze on top.
