Equipment

  • Donut trays
  • mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Silicone Spatula
  • Resealable bag

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup apple cider
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups cake flour or all-purpose flour, spooned and swept
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon table salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Topping

  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Bring the apple cider to a boil. Then lower heat to medium and simmer until reduced to ⅓ cup, about 15-18 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 350F. Grease two 6-well donut trays.
  • Whisk together all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
  • In another bowl whisk together all the wet ingredients. Pour in the cider and whisk that in.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Using a silicone spatula, mix together the wet and dry with a few swift strokes.
  • Spoon the batter into a large resealable bag, making sure the batter is spooned to the bottom of the bag. Press out the air and seal the bag. Snip about a ¾ inch piece off one bottom corner.
  • Pipe the batter into the wells of the trays, filling each a little past halfway.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes or until they are firm to the touch.
  • Turn then out onto a cooling rack while you make the topping.
  • Heat the butter until it melts. Mix together the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl large enough to fit the donuts.
  • Brush some butter on a donut, then roll it around in the sugar pressing a bit to adhere the topping. Repeat for each.

Notes

Spoon the flour into your measuring cup and then sweep off the excess with something flat, like the back of a butter knife. Reducing the cider can be monitored by marking the halfway point in the cider depth. Brush, don't dunk, the donuts in butter for even coating.
