Donuts

Preheat oven to 350 F

For the donuts, combine all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add wet ingredients (leave out apple pieces) and mix until just combined- do not over mix. Fold in apple pieces until combined.
Generously grease the donut pan with spray coconut oil to prevent sticking to the pan. Fill the donut pan with batter ¾ the way up and sprinkle topping evenly over donuts. Bake for 12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Frosting

Combine all ingredients for the frosting in a food processor and blend until smooth.
Once the donuts have cooled pipe frosting over the donuts using a piping or ziplock bag.
