Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or butter.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, combine the apple cider, egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Baking

  1. 5

    Fill the Donut Pan

    Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.

  2. 6

    Bake the Donuts

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched.

  3. 7

    Cool the Donuts

    Remove the pan from the oven and let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Coating

  1. 8

    Prepare the Coating

    In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the coating.

  2. 9

    Coat the Donuts

    Brush the still-warm donuts with melted butter and roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
