Apple Cider Doughnuts
This quintessential fall dessert is just what you need on a cold autumn night. This warm, freshly baked doughnut coated in cinnamon sugar is certainly something to write home about :)
Ingredients
- 1½ cups apple cider
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt

- ½ cup packed light or dark brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup milk, room temp
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Start by reducing the apple cider. Simmer on a low heat until about ½ a cup is left.
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Whisk together all the dry ingredients except the sugars. In a separate bowl combine butter, both sugars, milk, egg, and vanilla extract.

- Fill each doughnut cavity halfway full.
- Allow to bake for 10-11 minutes.
- While baking mix together coating ingredients (cinnamon and sugar).
