Description
Delicious baked apple cider doughnuts, perfect for a fall treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the topping:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a doughnut pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the doughnuts are cooling, prepare the topping. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
- Once the doughnuts are completely cool, dip each one into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating both sides.
Notes
- For a stronger apple flavor, use reduced apple cider.
- You can add chopped apples to the batter for added texture.
- Ensure doughnuts are fully cooled before topping to prevent them from breaking.
