Apple Cider Donuts
Do you all remember the Baked Pumpkin Donuts? Well, the donut pan was used again to make these Apple Cider Donuts. Oooh yeah. Technically we used Trader Joe’s Pear Cinnamon Cider, but I think we can still call them Apple Cider Donuts. Same thing, right?!
Check out how you make them!
Ingredients
Donuts
2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup apple cider (or Trader Joe’s Pear Cinnamon Cider)
1/4 cup applesauce
2 whole eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
2 Tbsp melted butter or Earth Balance
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
—
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly.
Combine apple cider, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
Add the dry to the wet and mix until fully incorporated.
Grease the Donut Pan
Pour the batter into a bag, cut a hole off of one corner, and pipe the batter into the pan.
Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until they are springy to the touch. Let them cool on a wire rack.
Combine sugar and spices in a bowl, and melt the butter.
Dip the donuts on the butter and then lightly dip them in the sugar/spice mixture.
Serve with a cup of coffee.
Mmmmm.
