APPLE CIDER DONUTS RECIPE | The Best Cider Donut I've Ever Tasted

The apple cider donut almost always comes to mind when we're talking about the most nostalgic fall foods. In my quest to find the perfect homemade cider donut, I found that the best version of this was both yeasted and made with a little baking soda too for what, to me, is the perfect combination of light and yeasty and a little cakey. This is honestly one of the most insane, mouth-watering things you can make and I'm excited to show you how to do it at home.

FOR THIS RECIPE YOU WILL NEED

DONUT DOUGH:
60g or 3 TBSP BUTTER
250g or about 1 C. FRESH APPLE CIDER
375g AP FLOUR
15g SUGAR
5g SALT
3g CINNAMON
1g or 1/4 TSP PUMPKIN SPICE
5g YEAST
2g BAKIG SODA

SUGAR/SALT COATING:
25g or 2 TBPS GRANULATED SUGAR
50g or 1/4C. RAW SUGAR
5g or 1 TSP cinnamon (ROUGHLY 1 tsp)
1-2gor 1/4TSP SALT

1. Brown butter, deglaze with cold cider
2. In food processor on medium speed, combine all the dry ingredients
3. Stream in butter and cider mixture
4. Flip into oiled medium bowl, rise on counter 2 hours
5. Lightly flour work surface then the dough, Roll Dough into 8X12 rectangle, use ring molds to punch out 6 rounds, then the holes.
6. Lay cut donuts onto lightly floured parchment on sheet tray.
7. Press scrap dough back together into rectangle about 1/2" thick and punch 2 more donuts.
8. Proof on counter covered with another sheet tray for 1 hour
9. Fry at 350 for 90 seconds per side. Drain on Wire rack
10. While still hot toss with sugar/salt blend and cover generously.

Let cool 5 mins, then absolutely murder these donuts with enthusiasm.

My 3 year old son and I have watched this particular video 20+ times. He's become your biggest fan and we'll be making these bad boys Saturday morning (followed in a few weeks by the apple fritter.). You and Lauren are a great team, thanks for taking the time to produce quality content.

Brings back fond memories of Yates Cider Mill in Rochester, Michigan.

this account will absolutely blow up this year! so stoked to watch you crush it!

[fatturdsonthehighway]

I made these and they were so soft and delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe

[StKatiThePaganSaint]

These look fantastic and I'm so happy to see the lack of shame over buying pre-mixed pumpkin spice. I will say though, for these or any other apple (or carrot!) desserts you might make in the future, I do urge you to try ground cardamom in your testing phase. I'm not a bit fan of allspice, but cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cardamom are absolutely amazing!

I don't consume seed oils. I fried these in lard. Amazing.

[yaiqabmayakaahlayahawadah]

Absolutely delicious recipe. My whole family loved them. Thanks for sharing!

[cbesc]

Nice touch with the brown butter deglaze with apple cider.

[hughjass]

I've never even heard tell of an apple cider donut. Now I can't wait to try one.

[frogmccuish]

My sister and I are going to try both donuts fritter and cider and see what we prefer. Your videos look awesome keep up the good work and we missed your dance at the end.

[dawnsmith]

I love and miss Edwards Apple Orchard cider donuts...It’s been a minute I think they are more cake, but I’m definitely going to try these!

[nicholaselizondo]

Such a good recipe!! Great flavor too! I had to make conversions in the measurements because I live in high altitude. I baked them instead of fried them for my wife and they were a hit! (She prefers baked food over fried food unlike me😂)

[alissasitihaura]

I wonder why I never stumbled upon your channel until today haha your videos was great! Keep it up and the donuts were very tempting, can't wait to make it someday..

[delperez]

These look fantastic. I'm watching A LOT of recipes making my first cider donuts (and first donuts in general). Appreciate the suggestion on not reducing down the cider and especially the salt in the coating, which I'm excited to try. Do you have a modified version of this recipe for baking rather than frying?

[theoriginalchefboyoboy]

nice recipe! well done. just glad I live near amish country and I can just go buy 'em! LOL

[ronnyrizat]

yep. just made these. they were rather "dope" I must say. now a subscriber.

[daybed]

[cookingwithletty]

[happybackchiropractic]

Great video. That is a tough question... think I’m leaning towards the fritters.
But dang... excellent execution on these donuts 🍩 ⭐️ 🙌🏼

[letseatwelllivewell]
