Apple Cinnamon Apple Cider Cake Donuts

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 3/4 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 Tbsp Apple Cinnamon Seasoning

  • 1 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

  • 1 egg

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 2 Tbsp butter, melted

  • 1 tsp vanilla

blank

  • 8 Tbsp butter, melted

  • 1/4-1/3 cup Spiceology Apple Cinnamon seasoning

Directions

  1. Pre heat your oven to 350°F.

  2. In a sauce pan, add your apple cider vinegar and reduce to 1/2 cup, this will take 15-20 minutes.

  3. Mix together your flour, baking powder and soda, salt and Apple Pie seasoning.

  4. In a separate bowl mix together your sugars, egg, milk, vanilla and melted butter. Add this to your dry ingredients and mix, just until combined. Mix in your reduced apple cider vinegar.

  5. Add your batter into a piping bag or a large ziplock style bag and cut a hole in the corner.

  6. Fill your donut pan about 2/3rds of the way full of your doughnut batter and bake for 10-12 minutes.

  7. Once finished baking, place onto a cooling rack.

  8. While your donuts are cooling, have your melted butter and Apple Cinnamon seasoning ready to go, dunk your warm donuts into the butter and then into Spiceology Apple Cinnamon blend, making sure to coat well.

  9. Try not to eat all of them right away. These are best the day of but will last until the next day if stored in an air tight container.

Donut Questions Worth Waking Up For

Yep! don’t skip it. This step concentrates that apple flavor and gives your donuts that signature zing. It’s the secret to making them taste like fall in every bite.


You can! Pipe the batter into muffin tins or even make donut holes. They might not look like classic donuts, but they’ll still taste ridiculously good.


Same day = peak donut happiness. They’re soft, warm, and perfectly coated right out of the oven. They’ll last until the next day, but let’s be honest… they probably won’t make it that long.
