Apple Donut

Apple Cider Donuts are a delightful autumnal treat known for their balance of sweetness and spice. The real key to these treats lies in the apple cider - reducing it on the stove will enhance its flavor and give the donuts a pronounced apple taste. Many people often go wrong by not reducing the cider enough, resulting in less flavorful donuts. Moreover, they often over-mix the dough which can lead to donuts that are tough instead of tender. To get the most out of the dish, always use good quality, unpasteurized apple cider if you can, it tastes better and gives the donuts a richer flavor. Also, before frying, let the dough rest in the fridge for a while, as it makes it easier to handle and cut into shapes. After frying, try to eat the donuts fresh. Apple cider donuts are always best when warm and freshly coated with sugar. A little-known tip is to experiment with your own spice mix in the sugar coating. Adding a bit of nutmeg or cloves can add an unexpected and delightful twist to the traditional cinnamon sugar coating. Another hack is to use apple butter in place of an egg if you want a vegan version of this recipe.
