Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups apple cider
• 2½ cups all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 teaspoons cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 10 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• ½ cup light brown sugar
• ½ granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ¾ cup buttermilk
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg
• Pinch of cloves
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ¾ cup confectioners sugar
• 1½ tablespoons pure maple syrup
• Pinch of salt
• 2 teaspoons milk or cream

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Pour apple cider into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook cider until reduced to about ¾ of a cup - about 15 minutes. Let the cider cool slightly. If youre making it in advance, refrigerate until ready to use.
• Place flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together until well combined.
• In a separate mixing bowl, stir together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and stir well.
• Alternate between adding buttermilk, reduced apple cider, and flour mixture to the butter mixture. Mix until just combined - a few lumps are okay. Do not overmix.
• Spray your donut pan with nonstick cooking spray. To easily fill the donut pan, pour the batter into a gallon plastic bag, cut off a corner, and pipe into donut wells. (Alternatively, you can spoon the batter into the wells.) Fill each well about ¾ full.
• Baking time will depend on your donut pan. A silicone donut pan will take 20-30 minutes. A metal pan will take about 15. Donuts are done when a tester comes out fairly clean.
• Cool donuts on wire racks in their pans for 5-10 minutes, then pop them out and continue cooling.
• Meanwhile, place the melted butter in a small bowl (big enough to place a donut). In another small bowl mix the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and sugar.
• When the donuts are cool enough to touch, dip both sides of each donut in the melted butter, then dip again in the cinnamon sugar.
• Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Place the mixture in a plastic squeeze bottle and drizzle over the donuts. (If you dont have a squeeze bottle, drizzle from a spoon held about six inches over the top of the donuts.)
