Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for coating
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for coating

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the apple cider, melted butter, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
  5. While the oil heats, prepare the coating by combining 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a shallow dish.
  6. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the donut batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  7. Remove donuts from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  8. While still warm, toss the donuts in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade fall favorite!

Notes

  • Ensure your oil is at the correct temperature for even cooking.
  • Don’t overmix the batter for tender donuts.
  • These donuts are best enjoyed fresh.
