Apple Cider Doughnuts
Every fall, Roxanne’s family heads to a local cider mill to enjoy fresh cider and warm
apple cider doughnuts. They always purchase cider to take home so they can make
these round replicas and relive the warm memories of the day.
Tip
To coat the hot doughnuts, place the topping in a brown paper bag, add the doughnuts
and gently shake to coat. Alternatively, place the topping in a shallow bowl, add the
doughnuts and roll to coat evenly. Be sure to coat the doughnuts immediately after
baking.
