Ingredients
Scale
- 1 and 1/2 cups (360ml) apple cider
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter
- melted
- 1 large egg
- at room temperature
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
- at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 6 Tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter
- melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
- In a saucepan, bring the apple cider to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until it has reduced to about 1 cup (240ml), about 15-20 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, apple pie spice, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, egg, brown sugar, granulated sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and reduced apple cider until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the topping, mix the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and apple pie spice in a bowl. Brush the warm donuts with melted butter, then coat with the sugar mixture.
Notes
- Make sure to measure the apple cider before reducing it. You can use either light or dark brown sugar based on your preference.
