- Dough:

- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tsp apple pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions
-
For dough: In a small saucepan, cook milk, 1/4 cup sugar, sour cream and butter over medium heat, until butter is melted. Remove from heat, and let cool until mixture registers 105 to 115 degrees.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine milk mixture and yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 8 minutes. Add eggs, salt, pie spice, vanilla and remaining 1/2 cup sugar; beat at medium speed until combined. Gradually add 4 cups flour, beating until smooth. Stir in enough flour until a soft dough forms and begins to pull away from sides of bowl.
-
Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes, adding up to remaining 1/2 cup flour as needed to prevent dough from sticking.
-
Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
-
Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Lightly punch down dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface ,and roll to 1/2-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch doughnut cutter, cut dough, rerolling scraps once and reserving holes. Place doughnuts and holes on prepared pan. Loosely cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until puffy, about 30 minutes.
-
a large Dutch oven, pour oil to fill halfway and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350.
-
Fry doughnuts in batches until until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Fry doughnut holes until golden brown, about 1 minute. Remove using a slotted spoon, and let drain on a wire rack.
-
For toppings: In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and pie spice. In a medium bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt. Toss warm doughnuts in spiced sugar, or dip cooled doughnuts in glaze.
