Apple-Cinnamon Doughnuts

This is a very easy preparation for what I find to be an addictive pleasure. A quickly made dough called pâte à choux (paht ah SHOO)—the dough used to make cream puffs—is loaded with diced apple, fried, and rolled in cinnamon sugar. The doughnuts make a wickedly good start to the day and also a surprisingly easy and impressive passed dessert after dinner.
