@simpleerooted: There is something about homemade apple cider donuts that just feels like fall. The secret? Don’t skip reducing the apple cider. Simmering it down creates a rich, concentrated apple flavor that makes these donuts taste like they came straight from an orchard. Apple Cider Donuts Ingredients • 1½ cups apple cider • 1 large egg • ½ cup granulated sugar • ½ cup brown sugar • 4 tablespoons melted butter • ½ cup whole milk • 1 teaspoon vanilla • 1 cup all-purpose flour • ¾ cup fresh milled flour • 1 teaspoon baking powder • 1 teaspoon baking soda • 2 teaspoons cinnamon • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice Spiced Sugar • 1 cup granulated sugar • 1 teaspoon cinnamon • ½ teaspoon nutmeg • ½ cup melted butter Directions 1. Pour the apple cider into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat until it reduces to about ½ cup. This takes about 20–30 minutes. Let it cool. 2. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a donut pan. 3. Whisk together the cooled cider reduction, egg, both sugars, melted butter, milk, and vanilla. 4. In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, fresh milled flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. 5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. 6. Fill each donut cavity about ¾ full. 7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched. 8. Let cool for a few minutes, brush each donut with melted butter, then coat generously in the spiced sugar mixture. They’re soft, buttery, perfectly spiced, and packed with real apple flavor. Pair one with a hot cup of coffee and you’ll understand why these disappear so quickly around here. Save this recipe for your first cozy fall baking day! #AppleCiderDonuts #FallBaking #HomemadeDonuts #AppleSeason #CozyKitchen
