Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh apple cider
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until evenly mixed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together fresh apple cider, room temperature eggs, and melted unsalted butter until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the donuts tender.
  5. Fill Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into each donut cavity until it is about two-thirds full to allow room for rising during baking.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the donuts turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about five minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Room temperature eggs help ensure even mixing and smoother batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough donuts.
  • Ensure the donut pan is well greased to prevent sticking.
  • These donuts can be glazed with a simple cinnamon sugar or maple glaze for extra flavor.
  • Store leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
