Apple Cider Glazed Donut Holes Tasty Treat Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup apple cider
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons apple cider
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, bring the apple cider to a boil over medium heat. Allow it to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until it reduces to about 1/4 cup. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini donut hole pan with non-stick spray or brush with melted butter.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and the reduced apple cider until smooth.
5. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Use a spoon or a piping bag to fill each cavity of the donut hole pan about 2/3 full with batter.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the donut holes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8. In a medium bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and enough apple cider to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
9. Once the donut holes are cool enough to handle, dip them into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off. Place them on a wire rack to set for a few minutes.
10. These donut holes are best enjoyed fresh and warm. Serve with extra apple cider on the side for a delightful fall treat!
