These apple cider glazed donuts are a lightly spiced, fluffy treat topped with a sweet, tangy glaze, perfect for capturing the spirit of the fall season.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh apple cider
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease your donut pan with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a small saucepan, simmer 1 cup of apple cider over medium heat until it reduces to about 1/4 cup. Let it cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  4. In another bowl, melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter and mix it with 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and the reduced apple cider.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the donuts tender.
  6. Spoon the batter into the pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full. Smooth the tops if needed.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the donuts are golden brown and spring back when lightly touched.
  8. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  9. In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar and 3 tbsp apple cider until smooth. Dip each donut into the glaze and place it on the rack to set.

Notes

[‘Concentrating the apple cider is key to achieving the signature flavor.’, ‘Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and consistent baking.’, ‘Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the donuts fluffy.’, ‘Let the donuts cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from sliding off.’, ‘Experiment with spices like cardamom or ginger for added flavor.’]
