Ingredients for making Air Fryer Apple Cider Donut Bites
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons apple pie spice
- ½ teaspoon salt

Directions for making Air Fryer Apple Cider Donut Bites
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, apple pie spice, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together.
- Combine applesauce, sparkling apple cider, melted butter, egg, and vinegar in a small bowl; whisk until well combined.
- Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients using a spatula and blend until just combined. Using a spring-hinged ice cream scoop, fill each individual cavity of the silicone donut mold with 2 tablespoons batter. Place mold into the air fryer basket.
- Decrease temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and cook for 8 minutes. Carefully turn out the donut bites and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove donut bites from the basket when done and let cool completely on a wire rack before glazing, about 30 minutes.
- Combine powdered sugar and apple pie spice in a small bowl and whisk together. Add sparkling apple cider and caramel extract; whisk together until the glaze is smooth.
- Dip each donut bite into the glaze, rolling it so that all sides are covered with the glaze. Set on a wire rack to allow the glaze to dry and harden before eating.
