Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for coating)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a donut pan or two baking sheets.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the apple cider, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full. If using baking sheets, drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto the prepared sheets, leaving space between them.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the donuts are baking, prepare the coating. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
  9. Once the donuts are baked, let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  10. While the donuts are still warm, dip each one into the melted butter mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
  11. Place the coated donuts back on the wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra burst of apple flavor, you can reduce the apple cider by simmering it on the stovetop for about 10 minutes to concentrate its flavor before measuring.
  • Ensure your apple cider is at room temperature for best results when mixing the batter.
  • You can adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar in the coating to your preference.
  • These donuts are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
