Description
These Baked Apple Cider Donuts are a delightful treat that captures the essence of fall with their warm, spiced flavor and soft texture, making them a healthier alternative to traditional fried donuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a saucepan, bring the apple cider to a boil over medium heat and reduce it to about 1/2 cup, then let it cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and the reduced apple cider until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Grease your donut pan well to prevent sticking.
- Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
Notes
- Use fresh apple cider for the best flavor.
