Apple picking season is here and there’s nothing more that keeps apples on the brain for me than my recipe for homemade apple cider doughnuts and a tall glass a milk. So grab your aprons and let’s get to baking!
First you’ll need either an old-fashioned donut maker, that drops them into the oil hot or this nifty little pan that I picked up here.
You’ll start spraying your donut pan with a little bit of non-stick spray and combining 2 teaspoons of cinnamon with a tablespoon of granulated sugar and evenly sprinkling it into the pan.
Shake off any excess onto a sheet of wax paper.
Blend your ingredients according to the recipe and fill up your donut pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for just 10-12 mins and voila! You have your donuts:-)
Now, I decided to take it a step further and whip up this little glaze. This one’s just 1/8 cup apple cider to two cups of powdered sugar and two teaspoons of cinnamon. Just bring the cider and cinnamon to a low simmer and then quickly whisk in your powdered sugar.
It will give you a thin syrupy glaze. For something a little bit thicker to coat your donuts reduced the amount of cider to two tablespoons.
APPLE CIDER DOUGHNUT RECIPE, Y’ALL!
