Ingredients

• 2 cups apple cider spiced
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp ginger
• 1/8 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar pack that together
Sponsored
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter softened
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 egg large
• 1/2 cup milk

Coating

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare doughnut pans with non-stick spray.
2. Pour the apple cider into a medium saucepan over medium/high heat. Bring the cider to a boil and allow it to simmer until the cider has been reduced to ½ cup. Once done, set aside until needed.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Set aside.
4. In a medium bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla; mix well.
5. Add the wet mixture into the dry mixture, add in the milk, and mix at low speed or with a whisk. Then slowly add in the cider mixing just until combined. Don’t overmix. Spoon or pipe the donut batter into the donut pan wells, filling ¾ of the way full. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
6. While baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar coating by whisking the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. When the donuts come out of the oven use a toothpick and slide it down the side to pop the donut out of the well. Immediately place the baked donut into the cinnamon sugar mixture, toss and coat, then move to a cooling rack. The donuts coat the best when hot out of the oven.
7. Cool completely and serve. Best eaten the same day.
