Ingredients

  • Ingredients
  • 1 and 1/2 cups pure apple cider
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • non-stick cooking spray

Coating

  • 1/2 cup turbinado sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  • Start by reducing the apple cider in a small saucepan over medium heat.  Pour 1 and 1/2 cups into the small saucepan.  Heat for about 15 minutes until the apple cider is reduced to about 1/2 cup. Remove from the heat once it's reduced and allow it to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.  Spray the donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.  Set it aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking dosa, cinnamon, cardamom, ground ginger, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl.
  • In a separate medium bowl, stir together the melted butter, egg, brown sugar, granulated sugar, milk and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and whisk together until combined.
  • Next place the batter into the prepared donut pan.  You can either spoon the batter into the pan with a tablespoon, or you can pour the mixture into a gallon size zip top bag and snip the corner of the bag to pipe the batter into the donut pans.  Fill the donut pan about halfway for each mold.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the tops are lightly browned.  Test for doneness with a knife or toothpick.
  • Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the donuts are baking, prepare the sugar topping by combining the turbinado sugar with the cinnamon and stirring until mixed.
  • Once the donuts are cooled, dip the top of the donut into the melted butter, then place it into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.  Set back on the wire rack to dry.
