Ingredients
Scale
For the Doughnuts:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup apple cider
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Maple Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a doughnut pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together apple cider, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the doughnut pan, filling each cavity about ¾ full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and cinnamon. Dip the tops of the cooled doughnuts into the glaze and let them set for about 10-15 minutes.
Notes
- For a more intense apple flavor, reduce your apple cider in a saucepan until it’s concentrated, then use as directed.
- These doughnuts can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature.
- For a thicker glaze, let the doughnuts cool fully before dipping them a second time.
