Apple Cider Baked Donuts

Ever since I took (temporary) possession of my sister’s donut pans, I’ve been scouring the Internet for great baked donut recipes. As I recently also found myself with an overabundance of green apples, I decided that apple cider donuts were to be my next undertaking. So I went searching for recipes, and what did I discover? Apple cider donuts don’t actually have apples in them! Go figure. I went ahead anyway, using this recipe, and as for those green apples-I made an apple crisp instead. This way, I wound up with both donuts and pie. Win-win for me! 

The only change I made to the recipe was to use coconut oil instead of canola-it was what I had on hand and it’s healthier. Speaking of healthy, don’t even think about skipping the maple glaze and cinnamon-sugar topping! Yum.

    I will definitely consider making them, just need to get myself a donut pan & some apple cider… Thank you for sharing & as far as I am concerned I wouldn't go without the maple cinnamon sugar glaze because then it wouldn't be a donut…

    Have a great day!!!

  14. Wow, yum! I love apple cider donuts. I'll bet they were moist — the DD one I had the other week was dry 🙁

    Adding this to my bookmark menu because I just may have to indulge in these. If only I had a donut pan… Not that I have any room to store it in my apartment! 🙂 Thanks for posting this!

  17. I thought I didn't have room for donut pans either (I have to be really selective since my kitchen is so tiny), but they're actually incredibly small, even way smaller than cupcake pans. I was surprised by that!

  18. Oooh I need to go to the Union Square market! I bet they have amazing apple cider too.

  19. Yeah Dunkin donuts leave something to be desired…these are baked, not fried, so they're a little different, but you're right-very moist and delicious!
