# How to Make It:
01 -
Eat while still a little warm for the best taste and texture.
02 -
While they're still a bit warm, dunk donuts into melted butter and roll them around in the cinnamon sugar. Make sure you get every side coated well.
03 -
After baking, wait about 5 minutes, then transfer donuts gently onto a wire rack to keep cooling.
04 -
Put the donut pan in the oven. Bake them for about 10 to 12 minutes, then check if they're golden on top and feel springy when you poke them.
05 -
Spoon or pipe the batter into the greased donut pan, aiming to fill them three-quarters full, so they don’t overflow when baking.
06 -
Add the wet stuff to the dry. Stir them just until they come together. Don’t fuss too much or your donuts won’t stay fluffy.
07 -
In another bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, both sugars, milk, and vanilla until smooth, then pour in the concentrated apple cider.
08 -
Grab your large bowl and whisk all-purpose flour, baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon, and apple pie spice together until it looks even.
09 -
Fire up the oven to 175°C. Really coat your donut pan with some non-stick spray so nothing sticks.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Keep the donuts in a lidded container at room temp (20–22°C) and out of direct sun, so they stay nice and fresh.
02 -
Don’t sprinkle with powdered sugar before stashing them away. Do it just before you eat so they don’t get soggy.
03 -
Need them to last? Wrap each donut tight in plastic then stick them in the freezer. Let thaw on the counter or gently microwave to rewarm.
