Gluten-Free Cake Donuts With Beet Sugar Glaze

"A donut a day keeps the doctor away"...is something we never thought we'd ever say. But then Monique Otero of Brunchpants (remember her breakfast cupcakes?) presented us with these gluten-free donuts filled to the brim with the season's freshly picked apples. NYC’s farmer’s markets are booming this time of year, and we've enlisted Monique to fill us in on the local New York farms - and their produce!) - that make these markets shine. Props to the family-owned fruit and veggie farm that inspired this gluten-free donut recipe that makes us feel a whole lot better about satisfying our sweet tooth first thing in the AM...  I have an ongoing love affair with apples, and one of the best places to find them in New York City this time of year is Migliorelli. This family-run fruit and vegetable farm originates from 1933 in the Hudon Valley. They specialize in over 130 different varieties of fruits and vegetables and sell in every major farmers market in New York City. Migliorelli's philosophy is to only sell produce that is less than 24-hours young. You can find their schedule here. "An apple a day” is not an old wive’s tale. Apples are a great source for antioxidants, vitamin C and fiber, helping you boost immunity and overall health. I like to use apple sauce in baking to reduce the amount of oil and butter I use. These gluten-free donuts call for apple sauce to increase the fiber content and beet juice to create the perfect shade of pink frosting.
