Ingredients:

Apple Cider Donuts

  • 1 cup Apple Cider
  • ½ cup Prairie Farms Buttermilk
  • 1 Large Egg
  • ½ tsp. Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tbsp. Prairie Farms Unsalted Butter melted
  • cup Light Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp. Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp. Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. Ground Ginger
  • ¼ tsp. Salt
  • tsp. Ground Nutmeg

Cinnamon Sugar

  • ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ tsp. Ground Cinnamon

Directions:

  • In a small saucepan, simmer apple cider over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reduces to ½ cup, about 10-12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Lightly grease two 6-cavity donut pans with baking spray or butter and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk Prairie Farms Buttermilk, reduced cider, egg, vanilla, melted Prairie Farms Unsalted Butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and nutmeg.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet mixture and stir gently until just combined (do not overmix).
  • Spoon or pipe batter evenly into prepared donut pans, filling each cavity about ¾ full.
  • Bake at 350° for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
  • Let donuts cool in their pans for about ten minutes, then carefully remove them.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon for coating. While donuts are still warm, press or roll them in cinnamon sugar until coated.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
