Fall has definitely arrived in Minnesota with chilly mornings and evenings, which gets me thinking about all things comfort food. Like soups and stews and pasta along with Fall treats like these amazing baked pumpkin spice donuts.

I mean, what’s says fall more than pumpkin and that delicious pumpkin pie spice?

Sugar and Spice Make Everything Nice

Once the donuts come out of the oven, you give them a quick dip first in melted butter and then in a delicious mixture of sugar and pumpkin pie spice.  

You definitely don’t want to skip this step either, the sugar mixture is what makes these donuts over-the-top yummy.  You’ll seriously find it hard to just eat one….
