Apple Cider Doughnuts
Damn Delicious
Notes
Extra flour will be needed for surface areas.
Ingredients
- 3 cups apple cider
1 cup granulated sugar
4 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups vegetable oil
Directions
- In a small saucepan over high heat, heat apple cider. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until reduced to one cup, about 15-20 minutes. Let cool completely.
- In a small bowl, combine sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Mix and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add dry ingredients: combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, nutmeg, and remaining cinnamon.
- In a large glass bowl, whisk together butter, eggs, and apple cider.
- Pour wet mixture over dry mixture, and stir using a rubber spatula until moist. Cover and place into refrigerator until chilled, about one hour.
- Divide dough in half. Working on a lightly floured surface, roll dough into 1/2-inch-thick rounds; cut out rounds (the hole) with a 2 1/2-inch cutter.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375°F.
- Working in batches, add doughnuts to the pot and cook until evenly golden and crispy, one minute per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate for 30 seconds, then roll warm doughnuts in cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
- Best served warm.
