Ingredients
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For coating: 1/2 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a doughnut pan.
- In a small saucepan, bring apple cider to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla, and the reduced apple cider.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon batter into prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- While still warm, brush each doughnut with melted butter (optional) and dip in cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
Tips
- For extra apple flavor, add 1/2 cup finely chopped apple to the batter.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- These doughnuts are best enjoyed the day they are made.
