They are delightful, with more spice than apple flavor. I brushed them with reduced apple cider (1 C cider reduced to 1/4 C) instead of butter to attach the cinnamon sugar, which gave a bit more apple flavor. I also tried a glaze made from the cider reduction with powdered sugar and cinnamon – that won the taste test. ? I will make these for Hanukkah as an alternative to the traditional jelly donuts.

Thank you very much for sharing the recipe!

Hi Kim! Sometimes you need to re-roll the donut holes in the sugar about 1-2 more times.

Charity, I’m sorry, I don’t have photos of what the batter should look like. It should be thicker, not runny. Another thing you can do is reduce the apple cider. Put it in a small saucepan and heat over medium-low until reduced by half or so. The flavor will be more concentrated.

Tried making these and I’m a decent baker. My batter wasn’t over mixed and was still very watery. I’ve never made cake doughnuts so I wasn’t sure what I was expecting. Do you have any photos of what your batter should look like at the end? Want to make these for my partners birthday!

Juice!

is it the Vinegar or just the juice?

thanks in advance

I have not tried freezing them, but if you try it and it works out, let me know!
