Equipment
- donut pan
Ingredients
For the Donuts
- 1 1/2 cups Apple Cider
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar, Packed
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/3 cup Unsalted Butter, Melted
- 1/2 cup Buttermilk
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
For the Coating
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, Melted
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
- Pour the apple cider into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, until reduced to 1/2 cup. Let it cool for 10 minutes. This concentrated cider is the secret to deep, true apple flavor in every bite.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease two 6-cavity donut pans well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- In a large bowl, whisk the brown sugar, granulated sugar and melted butter. Add the reduced cider, buttermilk, applesauce and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients and fold until just combined into a thick batter. Spoon it into a large zip-top bag, snip off one corner and pipe the batter into the donut cavities, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed. Cool them in the pans for 5 minutes, then gently turn them out onto a wire rack.
- Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Brush each warm donut all over with the melted butter, then toss it in the cinnamon sugar until fully coated.
