Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Apple cider
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Cinnamon sugar mixture
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, reduce the apple cider by half, approximately 3/4 cup. Set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
Stir in the reduced apple cider, buttermilk, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the donuts are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
While still warm, dip each donut in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
