Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For the Topping:
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a donut pan or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the apple cider, melted butter, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.
  7. While the donuts are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar topping. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  8. Once the donuts are out of the oven, let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  9. While the donuts are still warm, dip each one into the melted butter, letting any excess drip off. Then, roll each donut in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  10. Let the donuts cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • For a stronger apple flavor, you can reduce the apple cider by simmering it for a few minutes to concentrate the flavor before measuring.
  • Ensure your apple cider is at room temperature for best results when mixing the batter.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; this can lead to tough donuts.
