Instructions

How to Make Delicious Crispy Baked Apple Cider Doughnuts

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease doughnut pans with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, fine sea salt, ground cinnamon, and grated nutmeg; whisk until blended.
  • In a stand mixer, beat together unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then mix in vanilla extract.
  • Gradually fold dry mixture into the wet ingredients, pouring in apple cider until smooth.
  • Spoon batter into prepared pans, filling two-thirds full. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Cool slightly once baked, brush on melted butter, then dredge in cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Notes

These doughnuts are best served warm with coffee or cider for a delightful experience.
