How to make Apple Cider Donuts:
Preheat the oven to 325 and spray two donut pans with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the apple cider in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat.
When the cider begins to simmer, reduce to low and cook until the liquid is reduced to half a cup.
While the cider is simmering, combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla to the flour mixture and mix until combined.
When the cider is reduced to one half cup, remove from heat. Add the butter and stir until melted.
Allow the cider mixture to cool slightly, then add it to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined.
Pipe or gently spoon the batter into the prepared donut pans and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove donuts from the oven and allow to cool slightly in the pan, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
To prepare the cinnamon sugar coating, mix together the powdered sugar and cinnamon in a large ziplock bag.
Brush the donuts with the melted butter, then place one or two donuts in the bag. Close the bag and shake to coat the donuts with sugar.
Repeat until all donuts are coated. Enjoy!
