Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pure apple cider
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until the mixture is uniform.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the apple cider, eggs, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just blended, being careful not to overmix to keep the donuts tender.
  5. Fill Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan cavities, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake: Bake the donuts for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the donuts cool slightly before removing them from the pan. Optionally, coat them with cinnamon sugar for extra flavor and a lovely finish.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure the donuts remain light and fluffy.
  • Use a toothpick to check doneness to avoid overbaking.
  • Greasing the donut pan thoroughly prevents the donuts from sticking and breaking.
  • For extra flavor, dust with cinnamon sugar while the donuts are still warm.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.
