How to Make Baked Apple Cider Donuts These couldn’t be easier to make—no mixer required. Leave yourself enough time (at least a half hour) to reduce down the apple cider before beginning. I like to do this step the night before so it’s ready to go in the morning. Reduce the apple cider. In a small saucepan over low heat, simmer the apple cider until you’re left with about 1/2 cup. Begin checking at 10 minutes, then every 3-5 minutes after that until you have 1/2 cup of cider reduction. Mine takes about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes (or complete this step ahead of time). Combine the dry ingredients together. Combine the wet ingredients together, except for the apple cider. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together. Add the apple cider. Whisk everything together until smooth and combined. You’ll notice the batter will be slightly thick. We want thick batter for cakey and dense donuts. Fill the donut pan. Fill each donut cup about halfway. My trick for this? Use a zipped-top bag. Add the batter to the bag, cut off a corner, and pipe it into the donut pan filling only about halfway. This trick makes transferring the batter neat, quick, and easy. Bake. Only about 10 minutes of bake time—told you they were quick. To test doneness, poke your finger into the top of the donut. If the donut bounces back, they’re done. Once they are out of the oven, let them cool for 2 minutes, then invert the pan to release the donuts. You can then re-grease the donut pan and bake the remaining donut batter. (If you have 2 donut pans, go ahead and bake both trays at once.) Coat the donuts. Combine the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and apple pie spice together in a medium bowl. Once cool enough to handle, dunk both sides of each donut in the melted butter, then coat generously in the apple spice topping. Follow Easy 7 Steps
NotesMake Ahead InstructionsYou can freeze the donuts, coated or not, for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm in the microwave. I usually just zap them for a couple of seconds.
Special Tools (affiliate links): Apple Pie Spice Do you have apple pie spice where you live? It’s common in the U.S. If not available, you can make your own with cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg. Milk OptionsI typically use buttermilk, but any milk (dairy or non-dairy) works well. For a denser crumb, you can use ½ cup plain yogurt or sour cream instead. No Donut Pan?You can make donut muffins using a standard 12-cup muffin pan. Grease your pan or use muffin liners, fill each ¾ full, and bake at 350°F (177°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Makes 10-12 apple cider donut muffins. Mini Donuts or Donut HolesFor mini donuts or donut holes, grease your mini muffin pan, fill each ¾ full, and bake at 350°F (177°C) for 8-9 minutes.
