Ok seriously, who doesn’t love doughnuts?! I do. I could probably eat an entire dozen half dozen by myself. I wish I was joking right now, but I’m not at all. Weirdly enough I prefer the baked doughnuts over the regular fried ones. I love the cake-like texture of them and I also like that they aren’t as greasy. It makes me feel a lot better about eating 6 doughnuts in a sitting. They’re baked okay?! Totally healthy for you! I was deciding between Pumpkin Spice or Apple Cider for this recipe and I just felt compelled to pay homage to the underrated delicious apple cider for the fall season.

Ingredients

Scale

Apple Cider Doughnuts

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Cinnamon-Sugar Topping

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter for brushing

Instructions

  1. The first thing you want to do is preheat your oven to 325 degrees F
  2. In a bowl mix together your dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt
  3. To the dry ingredients add the apple cider, milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter. Give it a stir to make sure everything is mixed together completely
  4. Add your batter to a ziplock plastic bag, or pastry bag if you are super fancy, and snip the edge. Pipe the batter into a greased doughnut pan ( I got mine at Target for $6) until you are about 3/4 of the way filled up
  5. Put your doughnuts in the oven and let them cook for about 10 minutes
  6. While those are cooking make the topping. In a bowl mix together the sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg
  7. Once the doughnuts are cooked and cooled slightly lightly brush them with the melted butter and then roll them around in the cinnamon sugar mixture. That’s it!! Such an easy and delicious Fall recipe that everyone will love. Enjoy!
