Apple Cider Doughnuts

It is the season of Apple Cider. Unfortunately Apple Cider this year is way high due to the weird winter that we had last year that really affected the apple crop.

I love Apple Cider and I love doughnuts and since these doughnuts have apples in them, they are healthy right...wink wink!



Mixed together the flour, both sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, apple pie spice and cinnamon.


Next add apple cider, apple sauce, eggs (one at a time) and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy.


Lightly grease a doughnut pan. Using a Ziploc with a corner cut off, fill the pan with batter.


Bake at 325° for about 12 minutes or until they spring back when touched.


Top with glaze and topping.
