Apple Spice Donuts

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a mini donut baking pan. Set it aside.
2. To make the donut batter, simmer the apple cider in a small pot until the liquid has reduced and only ½ cup remains, about 20 to 25 minutes.
3. While the cider is reducing, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside.
4. In another large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Mix until smooth. Add half of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix. Whisk in the concentrated apple cider until the batter is smooth. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag. Pipe some of the batter into each donut mold, filling about halfway.
5. Bake the donuts until they are lightly golden and an inserted toothpick comes out clean, about 8 to 10 minutes.
6. While the donuts are in the oven, to make the spiced sugar, in a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
7. Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, dip each donut into the melted butter and roll it in the spiced sugar.
8. Serve immediately or once cooled completely, store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
