Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 3 cups apple cider
- 2 eggs
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
- 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons apple pie spice
- canola oil for frying
Instructions
- Step 1
- In a large shallow dish, combine the sugar and cinnamon.
- Step 2
- In a large pan, boil the cider until reduced to 1 cup. Cool completely. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, butter, and reduced cider.
- Step 3
- Using a wooden spoon, mix together the brown sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and pie spice just until moistened. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Step 4
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat to 365 F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Divide dough in half and work with one half at a time. On a floured surface, roll to 1/2" thickness and use a doughnut cutter to cut as many doughnuts as you can. Re-roll the scraps once to cut out more doughnuts.
- Step 5
- Fry doughnuts and holes in batches, until golden brown. Fry 45-60 seconds per side. Remove to drain on the paper towels for 30 seconds and then toss gently in the cinnamon sugar.
