01 - 2 cups apple cider
02 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
03 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter

06 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
07 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
08 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
09 - 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
10 - 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
11 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Garnish & Toppings

14 - 1/4 cup apple cider
15 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Instructions:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, spices, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider, eggs, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract.
03 - Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
04 - Fill a greased donut pan about two-thirds full.
05 - Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
06 - While the donuts are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, softened butter, apple cider, and vanilla extract until smooth.
07 - Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, dip them in the glaze and let them set on a wire rack.

# Notes:

01 - Don’t overfill the donut pan. Let them cool slightly before glazing. If your glaze is too thin, add more powdered sugar. Too thick? More cider. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days.
