Ingredients
- 2 cups apple cider (½ cup reduced cider)
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon (Plus more for garnish)
- ½ teaspoon clove
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon cardamom
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup whole milk (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup shredded apple
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ½ packet apple cider drink mix
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 6 tablespoons milk
Steps
-
Reduce the apple cider to ½ cup. Bring the cider to a boil in a small saucepan, once it has been brought to a rolling boil, reduce heat and let simmer, uncovered for about 30-50 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
-
Once you have reduced your cider to ½ cup, set aside to cool and shred your apple. Peel a large apple and shred it with a cheese grater, you will need to squeeze out some excess juice.
-
Preheat your oven to 350℉ and prepare your donut pan by spraying with nonstick spray.
-
In a bowl whisk together your flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, clove, allspice, nutmeg, cardamom, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl whisk together your butter, egg, brown sugar, whole milk, vanilla, and shredded apple.
-
Pour your wet ingredients and reduced apple cider into your dry ingredients. Whisk everything together until well combined, no clumps should remain.
-
Pour your batter into your prepared donut pan. You can use a piping bag with the tip cut off to pipe the batter into the pan, filling each cavity about halfway.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes. To check doneness, tap the top of a donut, if it bounces back it is ready. Remove the donuts from oven and allow to cool in the pan 2-3 minutes.
-
Remove donuts from pan and allow to finish cooling on a wire rack before glazing.
-
In a bowl, mix together your powdered sugar, apple cider mix, vanilla, and milk.
-
Take your cooled donuts and dip one side into glaze, allowing any excess glaze to drip off back into the bowl.

Optional: Dust with cinnamon
