Ingredients

  • 2 cups apple cider
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp all-spice
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted and divided
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup cinnamon sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven 375˚F. Lightly spray two donut pans with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Heat the apple cider in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook until the cider is reduced to around a 1/2 cup. Remove from heat.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, all-spice, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, cream together the sugars, milk, 2 Tablespoons butter, vanilla, and egg.
  • Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Scoop the batter into a piping bag, or a large ziplock bag with the corner cut out. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pans, and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.
  • Allow to cool in the pans for around 10 minutes before transfering the donuts to wire racks.
  • Brush the slightly warm donuts with the remaining butter.
  • Place the cinnamon sugar in a shallow bowl. Dip the donuts in the cinnamon sugar, and turn to coat on all sides. Return to the wire racks.
