Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously spray a standard 6-cavity or 12-cavity donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk until the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Create a well in the center of the dry mixture. Add the milk, egg, and melted butter. Stir until combined and a thick batter forms. Gently fold in the diced apple pieces.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with one corner cut off.
- Pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut cavities, filling each one about two-thirds to three-quarters full.
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until small, pea-sized crumbs form.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping over each donut cavity and lightly press it down. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the donuts spring back lightly and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for exactly 5 minutes. Loosen the edges gently and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Dust the donuts with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
