Temperatures are dropping, the leaves are changing colors and football is dominating our weekends. Yup! Fall is here. These quick and easy doughnuts are a great way to enjoy the flavors of Autumn.

2 cups Bisquick baking mix
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
pinch nutmeg
pinch ground cloves
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup brown sugar

Preheat oven the 350 degrees F. Spray mini muffin pans with non-stick spray-batter will make approximately 30 minis. In a medium size bowl, combine Bisquick, applesauce, apple, sugar, milk, egg, oil, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and butter. Stir until just combined. Spoon batter into prepared pans, filling each 3/4 full. Bake for 12-15 minutes. While doughnuts are baking, melt butter in a small bowl. In a second small bowl, combine remaining cinnamon and brown sugar. Once doughnuts are finished baking, allow to cool for a few minutes before dipping in butter and rolling in brown sugar mixture.
