Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In another large bowl, whisk together apple cider, sugar, buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
Pour the apple cider mixture into the flour mixture and whisk until just combined.
Fill greased donut molds about 2/3 full with the donut batter.
Bake for 7-9 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the tops spring back when gently pressed.
Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool for about 2 minutes.
Gently remove the donuts using a fork or knife and place them on a sheet tray to cool.
Prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture by combining sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
Brush the tops of the donuts with melted butter and dip them into the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the donuts fluffy.
These donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days.
Feel free to adjust the spices to your preference for added flavor.
