Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cup apple cider
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbs melted butter
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon sugar mix

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon melted butter (to coat the donuts in)

Instructions
 

  • Reduce the apple cider: On medium heat simmer the apple cider. At the 15 minute mark mix the cider up. This process will take about 20 minutes and you should have about ½ cup left. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Donuts:

  • Grease up a donut pan and set aside.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk and set aside.
  • In another bowl using a hand mixer or a spoon, mix up the melted butter, egg, sugars, milk, vanilla until combined. Add in your dry ingredients one cup at a time. Next, add in the cooled apple cider and mix the batter until fully combined.
  • In your greased donut pan, add the donut batter. I used the piping method I mentioned above or you can just spoon the donut batter into the pan.
  • Cook at 350 for 12 minutes. Cool for a few minutes in the pan.
  • Let the donuts cool for a few minutes in the pan and then pop them out on a cooling rack. Brush the donuts in the 1 tbs of melted butter and dip both sides in the cinnamon sugar mix.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

If your donuts need more time cooking, pop them in for 3-4 minutes. Check on them in the oven so the donuts don't burn.
