Ingredients :
- 3 cups apple cider
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon butter melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup butter melted
Directions :
- In a small saucepan over medium low heat, simmer the apple cider until you are left with about ½ cup of cider, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool, about 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a donut pan with nonstick spray, set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, apple pie spice, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together apple cider, melted butter, egg, brown sugar, granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour cider mixture into the flour mixture. Whisk until smooth.
- Spoon batter into donut pan, filling each one about ½ way, about ¼ cup. Bake the donuts until lightly brown on top, about 12 minutes. If donuts bounce back to the touch, then they are done. Remove donuts from pan and cool on a wire rack.
- For the topping, in a medium bowl combine the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and apple pie spice. Place the melted butter in a separate medium bowl.
- To coat the donuts, working one donut at a time, dip the donuts into the melted butter then gently roll the donut around in the sugar mixture. Serve immediately or can be stored in refrigerator for 5 days in an airtight container.
