Are you craving something sweet and indulgent? Then you must try this amazing recipe for Apple Cider Donuts! These donuts are the perfect treat for a cozy fall day with a warm cup of coffee or spiced cider. They are easy to make and will leave your taste buds wanting more.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. In a small saucepan, boil the apple cider until it reduces to 1/2 cup. Set it aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the cooled melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and reduced apple cider. Mix until everything is combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be sure not to overmix the batter. Spoon the batter into a piping bag and pipe into a greased donut pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar and enjoy!
