Apple Cider Donuts
Ingredients
- 3 cups Apple Cider
- 1 cup Sugar
- 4½ tsp Cinnamon divided
- 3½ cups All-Purpose Flour
- ⅔ cup Brown Sugar packed
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ½ tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 6 tbsp Butter melted + cooled
- 2 large Eggs lightly beaten
- 2 cups Vegetable Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over high heat, bring to a boil apple cider then reduce heat to simmer. Stir occasionally until reduced to 1 cup, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside and cool completely.
- In a small bowl, combine sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, nutmeg and remaining 1½ teaspoons cinnamon.
- In another bowl, whisk together butter, eggs and apple cider.
- Pour mixture over dry ingredients and stir until just moist. Cover and place into the refrigerator until chilled, about 1 hour. Divide dough in half.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into 1/2-inch thick rounds and cut out rounds with a 2½-inch cutter or rim of bowl.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat to 375℉.
- Working in batches, add the donuts and cook until evenly golden and crispy, 1 minute per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate for 30 seconds, then roll warm donuts in cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
- Enjoy!
