Apple Cider Donuts

Hello friends, welcome to Donuts Recipes. Today we are going to make Apple Cider Donuts.

Wonderful and warm, these old-fashioned apple cider donuts are delicious. Though perfect for fall, these treats are great year-round.

I even make the batter recipe the night before and then finish them in the morning. I also like to dust them with powdered sugar… Yum!

Ingredients for making Apple Cider Donuts

• 2 cups white sugar, divided
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 ½ cups apple cider
• 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, divided
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup butter, melted
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
• 6 cups vegetable oil for frying

Directions for making Apple Cider Donuts

1. Mix 1 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon together in a resealable plastic bag.
2. Bring apple cider to a boil in a saucepan; cook, stirring occasionally, until cider has reduced to 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
3. Whisk 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Mix butter, eggs, egg yolk, and cooled cider together in a separate bowl until smooth; stir into flour mixture.
4. Stir remaining 2 3/4 cups flour into mixture until dough is smooth. Refrigerate dough for 10 minutes.
5. Heat oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
6. Turn dough onto a well-floured work surface using floured hands; pat dough to 1/2-inch thickness.
7. Cut dough into Donuts using a doughnut cutter or 2 round cookie cutters (1 large and 1 small). Gather scraps and re-pat dough to cut out as many Donuts as possible.
8. Carefully slide Donuts, working in batches, into hot oil; fry until Donuts rise to the surface and begin to brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
9. Flip Donuts and continue frying until opposite side is browned, about 1 1/2 minutes.
10. Remove Donuts with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to cool until easily handled, about 1 minute.
11. Toss cooled Donuts in the reserved bag of cinnamon sugar. Bring oil back to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) before frying next batch.
