Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Apple cider
• 3.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Buttermilk
• 4 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, bring the apple cider to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced to about 1/2 cup, around 15-20 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and the cooled, reduced apple cider.

Step 5

Gradually add in the dry ingredients from step 2, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a doughnut cutter or two round cutters (one large, one small) to cut out doughnut shapes.

Step 7

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the doughnuts and holes onto the sheet. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.

Step 8

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature constantly.

Step 9

Carefully fry the doughnuts in batches, about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 10

For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Dip each doughnut into the glaze while still warm, allowing excess to drip off.

Step 11

Place the glazed doughnuts on a wire rack to set for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
