Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup apple cider
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini donut pan or muffin tin.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Gradually add the apple cider to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two additions, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan or muffin tin, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • While the donut holes are baking, combine the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Once the donut holes are baked, let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  • Brush the warm donut holes with the melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  • Let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra burst of apple flavor, you can add a tablespoon of finely diced apple to the batter.
  • If you don’t have a mini donut pan, you can use a standard muffin tin and adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • These donut holes are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
