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
- 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.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini donut hole pan with non-stick spray or brush with melted butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and the reduced apple cider until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Use a spoon or a piping bag to fill each cavity of the donut hole pan about 2/3 full with batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the donut holes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, cinnamon, and enough apple cider to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
- 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.
- These donut holes are best enjoyed fresh and warm. Serve with extra apple cider on the side for a delightful fall treat!
