Creating delightful Apple Cider Donuts is a breeze. Follow these simple steps to ensure delightful results:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with cooking spray or a light coating of oil.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg until well blended. Gradually add the apple cider, applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.
5. Fill the Donut Pan: Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill each donut cavity about ¾ full with the batter.
6. Bake: Place the donut pan into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Once baked, remove the donut pan from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before transferring the donuts to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Sugar Coating: If desired, roll the cooled donuts in granulated sugar to give them an irresistible finish.
