RECIPE TIPS
These treats are best served fresh. Do not stack your donuts in the air fryer. Allow enough room for the air to circulate around your donuts so they cook evenly.For best cooking results, make sure your Air Fryer doughnuts are the same size. But you can have fun and vary the size of your donuts from batch to batch.Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model. I recommend starting out with less cook time, checking for doneness, and then adding more time as needed.
Recipe Variations
I have kept this caramel apple donuts recipe fairly simple, but you can customize it aaaaall the ways.
Glaze them – Cover them in a caramel glaze or other glaze of your choice.Top with nuts – If you glaze these, then top them with chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts. Sprinkles work too.Swap the fruit – Pears work just as well as apples in this recipe.Change the spice – Feel free to use some cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, or even pumpkin pie spice to suit your taste.
