A light and moist apple sour cream donut. This recipe is a baked donut. I used a donut pan, but need to try making it without a donut pan.

Instructions
In a medium sized bowl add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix together really well so the baking powder is distributed throughout. Set aside.
Peel and core the apples. Cut the apples into small bits. Place the apple bits, cinnamon and sugar in a small boat. Stir to coat the apples and set aside.
Grease a large bowl and set aside.
Using your mixer with the paddle attachment add the butter and egg yolks. Beat together about 3 minutes until it is fluffy and a light yellow colour.
Then add the sour cream. Mix until blended.
Combining
Add the apples to the dry ingredients, stir.
With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter/sour cream mixture a little bit at a time. Make sure the flour is incorporated before adding the next spoonful.
Once done place the mixture in the buttered bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least an hour.
Cut and Roll Donuts
Preheat oven to 350 F.
On a floured counter roll out your dough until it's about an inch thick.
Cut the dough with a donut cutter and place the cut dough into the baking donut pan. Bake at 350 for between 20-30 minutes. Until the donuts are golden.
Glaze
Place the icing sugar and the vanilla in a bowl. Stir in the milk until it's a consistency you like. The thinner the glaze the less sweet the donuts will be.
As soon as the donuts are baked place the warm donut into the glaze. Flip over to do the other side and place on a rack to cool.
