Preparation Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, pour 1 cup of apple cider. Over medium heat, simmer the cider until it’s reduced to 1/2 a cup. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

2. Preheat oven to 325 F. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.

3. Combine the reduced cider, milk, eggs, vanilla and butter in a medium sized bowl. Slowly pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Beat until well combined and it forms a smooth batter.

4. Thoroughly grease a donut pan (recipe makes 15 standard size donuts).

5. Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter into each donut ring. (Your measurements may vary depending on your pan. You want to fill the rings until half full.)

6. Bake the donuts in the 325 F oven for 13 minutes.

7. Combine the coating ingredients (sugar and cinnamon) in a zip top bag. Set aside.

8. Remove donuts from the oven. Carefully lift donuts from the pans. While still warm, place a few donuts in the bag with the cinnamon sugar. Gently toss to coat. Repeat with the rest.

9. Enjoy while warm or allow to cool and store in an airtight container.
