- Bring apple cider to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce down to ½ cup (120 ml) (takes about 20-25 minutes).

- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs with white and brown sugar. Add cooled cider/butter mixture, sour cream, and vanilla extract.

- Using a wooden spoon, mix dry ingredients into the wet until just incorporated.
- Cover and chill for 1 hour.
- On a very well-floured surface, roll out the cooled dough to about ¾-inch (2 cm) thickness and cut into donut shapes using pastry cutters or a mason jar/cup and a bottle cap/shot glass. Chill cut donuts 10 minutes more if necessary.
- Heat oil to 350˚F (180˚C).

EASY BAKED APPLE DONUTS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease pans with butter or spray with nonstick spray. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk sugar, brown sugar, egg, oil, buttermilk, apple compote and vanilla extract in a large bowl until completely smooth. Add dry ingredients and combine with a rubber spatula until the batter just comes together.
- Transfer batter to a large Ziploc bag. Cut a small hole in the corner of the bag and pipe the batter into a nonstick donut pan, filling each donut space about three-quarters of the way up with batter.
- Transfer to the oven and bake until donuts spring back when touched, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, make the topping. Combine the sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg and cloves in a shallow bowl. When donuts are cool enough to handle, brush each donut with melted butter and toss in sugar and spice mixture until donuts are fully coated. Serve warm.

- Top the apple rings with either the chocolate-hazelnut spread, peanut butter or yogurt. (Pipe the chocolate-hazelnut spread or peanut butter, then spread carefully with a knife or offset spatula; spread the yogurt with a spoon.) Garnish each with a variety of the toppings.

APPLE CIDER DOUGHNUTS
Apple donuts remind me of family trips to South Dakota. We'd stop at Wall Drug for a dozen or so before camping in the Badlands. Maple glaze was and still is my favorite. Share a batch with friends and family who appreciate a hot, fresh apple cider donut. -Melissa Hansen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

BAKED APPLE DOUGHNUTS
These easy and delicious baked apple doughnuts are tender, sweet, and studded with pieces of tart apple. The trick is to coat the dough in lots of cinnamon sugar, and then bake them so they are still soft on the inside and have a wonderful sugar crust on the outside. Enjoy with coffee and a crossword!

Steps:
- Mix the soft cheese with the honey and set aside. Peel the apples, then slice each through the core into five or six rings, about 1cm thick. Use an apple corer or small round biscuit cutter to stamp out a circle from the middle of each slice, removing the core and creating 'doughnut' shapes. Pat the slices dry using kitchen paper - they should be as dry as possible to help the toppings stick.
- Spread some nut butter over the slices, if using, then top with the sweetened soft cheese. Decorate with the sprinkles and serve.

CLASSIC GLAZED DONUTS RECIPE BY TASTY
Making donuts and munchkins from scratch can seem like an intimidating endeavor, but once you go homemade, it's really hard to go back to store-bought. After you make the dough and let it rise overnight, you'll cut the donut and donut hole shapes and fry them in a heavy pan. While they rest, whisk together the glaze and either drizzle over the donuts or dunk them in it. Add sprinkles if you want and enjoy your warm, fresh-baked treats - this recipe makes a lot of them!

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, add the milk, sugar, and yeast, stirring to combine.
- In a separate medium bowl, add the butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, stirring to combine.
- Add the milk mixture to the egg mixture and whisk to combine. Transfer to a large bowl and add the flour in thirds, stirring between each addition.
- Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, until smooth. Gently poke the dough with a finger--the dough should bounce back up from the indentation.
- Place the dough in a large bowl, and lightly coat the dough with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for an hour, or until doubled in size.
- Take the dough out and knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and repeat with rise overnight in refrigerator.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface until ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
- Cut out the doughnuts and donut holes with a cookie cutter and piping tip.
- Melt enough shortening over medium heat to come up just 2 inches (5 cm) up on the side of a heavy frying pan. Heat the shortening to 375°F (190°C)
- Fry the donuts and donut holes for 45 seconds on each side, or until golden brown.
- In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, dry milk powder, vanilla extract and hot water until smooth.
- Strain the glaze through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
- Dunk the donuts in the glaze or drizzle the glaze on top.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a firm, tart apple variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. This will help the doughnuts stay together and give them a good flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the doughnuts tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fry the doughnuts at the right temperature: The oil should be between 350°F and 375°F. If the oil is too hot, the doughnuts will brown too quickly and won't have a chance to cook through. If the oil is too cold, the doughnuts will absorb too much oil and be greasy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Fry the doughnuts in batches so that they have enough room to cook evenly.
- Drain the doughnuts on paper towels: This will help remove excess oil.
- Serve the doughnuts warm: Apple doughnuts are best when served warm, but they can also be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Apple doughnuts are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect apple doughnuts every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
