Ingredients
  

For the Donut Coins:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup milk

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Frozen Yogurt Filling:

2 cups vanilla yogurt (Greek or regular)

1 cup finely chopped apples (preferably Granny Smith)

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

1 tbsp lemon juice

For the Topping:

1/2 cup granola

1/4 cup caramel sauce

Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with cooking spray or lightly oil it.

    Make the Donut Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined (avoid overmixing).

      Fill the Donut Pan: Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill each donut shape in the pan about halfway with the batter. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

        Prepare the Frozen Yogurt Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, chopped apples, cinnamon, honey (if using), and lemon juice. Mix until well incorporated.

          Freeze the Filling: Spread the yogurt mixture evenly in a shallow dish, smoothing it out. Place it in the freezer for about 2 hours or until it’s slightly firm but not completely frozen.

            Assemble the Donut Coins: Once the donut coins have cooled and the yogurt filling is slightly frozen, cut the donuts in half horizontally. Spoon a generous amount of the frozen yogurt filling on the bottom half of each donut, then cover with the top half to create a sandwich.

              Top It Off: Drizzle caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with granola for extra crunch. If desired, add a dollop of whipped cream.

                Serve: Enjoy immediately as a delightful summer dessert, or place them back in the freezer for a firmer treat later!
