These Baked Apple Cider Doughnuts are perfectly soft, spiced and finished with butter and cinnamon sugar, making them perfect fall treat!
1 box apple cider cake mix
1 tsp apple pie spice
1/2 cup apple cider
1 egg
2 TBSP butter, melted
Topping:
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 TBSP apple pie spice
6 TBSP butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350 and spray 2-6 cavity doughnut pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix and apple pie spice until well blended. Add apple cider, egg, and melted butter and stir until well blended. Batter will be thick.
Using a spoon or piping bag, add the batter to each doughnut cavity in an even layer. Bake 14-18 minutes, cool for a few minutes in the pans, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Meanwhile in a small bowl mix sugar and apple pie spice until blended. Brush warm doughnuts with melted butter, then immediately dip in the sugar mixture, then place on a cooling rack to cool completely. Serve immediately and for bonus points, serve with Uncle Bob’s Butter Country Cinnamon syrup, you’ll thank me.
