Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, simmer the apple cider until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10-15 minutes. Let cool.

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
  • Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the donuts cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  • In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon for coating.
  • Brush each donut lightly with melted butter and roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
