Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray
0.75 cup all-purpose flour
0.333 cup sugar
0.25 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.125 teaspoon baking soda
0.25 cup butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
0.333 cup plain low-fat yogurt
0.667 cup shredded unpeeled apple
3 tablespoon sugar
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Coat six indentations of a doughnut pan or nine 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with cooking spray; set aside. In a medium bowl stir together all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup sugar, whole wheat flour, baking powder, apple pie spice, salt, and baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
In a small bowl combine egg and yogurt. Add egg mixture to flour mixture; stir just until combined (do not overmix). Gently fold in apple.
Spoon batter into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip. Pipe batter into the prepared doughnut pan indentations or muffin cups. Lightly coat a sheet of plastic wrap with cooking spray. Place plastic wrap, coated side down, over doughnut batter. Chill for 2 to 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove plastic wrap. Bake about 15 minutes or until doughnuts are light golden brown and spring back when lightly touched. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Carefully invert pan to remove doughnuts.
In a small bowl combine 3 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. As soon as doughnuts are cool enough to handle, dip into cinnamon-sugar to coat. Serve warm.
