Baked Cinnamon-Apple Doughnuts

Doughnuts:
2 pkts dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (105 - 115 F)
5 & 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 & 1/4 cups unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/3 cup margarine
1/2 tsp salt
2 egg substitutes
1/4 cup margarine, melted and divided

Topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl. Let stand 5 minutes.
Add 3 cups flour, applesauce, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, the nutmeg,
salt, egg subs, and 1/3 cup margarine.
Beat at low speed of an electric mixer until moistened.
Beat at medium speed for an additional 2 minutes.
Stir in 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form a soft dough.
Turn out onto a well-floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 5
minutes).
add enough remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from
sticking to hands.
Put dough in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 1 hour, or until
doubled in bulk. Punch dough down, and turn out onto a lightly floured
surface. Roll dough out to 1/2" thickness.
Cut with a lightly floured 2 & 1/2" doughnut cutter.
Combine doughnut holes and any remaining scraps of dough.
Reroll to 1/2" thickness, and cut as before.
Put doughnuts on baking sheets coated with cooking spray.
Brush 2 Tbs melted margarine over doughnuts.
Let rise, uncovered, in a warm, draft-free place for 40 minutes.
Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon in a large, heavy-duty ziplock bag, and
set aside.
Bake doughnuts at 425 F for 8 minutes, or until golden.
Immediately brush remaining 2 Tbs melted margarine over baked doughnuts.
Add doughnuts to plastic bag. Seal the bag, and shake to coat.
