Baked Apple Cider Donuts
Try these warm homemade apple cider donuts are a great fall treat in less than 20 minutes.
Ingredients
For the donuts:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup apple cider
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter melted, unsalted
Cinnamon-sugar topping:
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
Instructions
To make the donuts:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spray donut pan with cooking spray.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. Add cider, milk, eggs, vanilla and melted butter. Mix until well blended.
- Fill each donut cup about ¾ full (I use a pastry bag with the end snipped to do it neatly.) Bake for 10 minutes until donuts spring back when touched. Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan.
To make the cinnamon-sugar topping:
- Mix together sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl until well combined. Brush each donut with melted butter then toss in cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Notes
- STORAGE
- These donuts are best fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 days.
- These donuts can be frozen, but we recommend freezing prior to coating them in the cinnamon sugar.
