Preparation

Step 1

Combine granulated sugar
and cinnamon in a paper bag;
shake to mix.
Boil cider in a large skillet
over high heat until reduced
to 1 cup, 15 to 20 minutes.
Cool completely. Whisk
together eggs, butter, and
reduced cider in a bowl.
Beat flour, brown sugar,
baking powder, salt, baking
soda, and pie spice with an
electric mixer until combined,
30 seconds. Beat in cider
mixture just until moistened.
Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
Heat oil in a large pot over
medium heat to 365 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper
towels. Divide dough in half.
Working with one half at a
time, on a floured work surface, roll dough to 1/2" thick and cut into circles with a floured 3" doughnut cutter. Repeat with remaining dough, re-rolling scraps once.
Fry doughnuts and holes,
in batches, until golden brown, 45 seconds to 1 minute per
side. Drain on prepared baking
sheet 30 seconds. Gently toss
warm doughnuts in cinnamon
sugar.
Serve warm or at room
temperature.
