Apple Cider Donuts

Growing up in Connecticut, I used to look forward to cider donuts at Lyman Orchards after going through the corn maze. And I've searched high and low for them in Florida with no such luck, but then I found this recipe which is from another New England to Florida transplant. So I couldn't wait to put it to use. My favorite part of this recipe is that the donuts are baked not fried. Well New England... you can keep your cold weather, I'll enjoy my donuts on the patio. 

Ingredients

2 cups of flour
3/4 cups of sugar
2 tsp. of baking powder
1/2 tsp. of cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
1/2 tsp. of salt
1/2 cup of apple cider
1/4 cup of organic skim milk
2 organic eggs, beaten (I used egg whites)
1 tbsp. of melted butter

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

1/4 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup of sugar
1 tbsp. of cinnamon
1 tbsp. of melted butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl. Then add cider, milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter. Mix until combined.

If you have a donut pan (I found mine at Bed Bath and Beyond for $10, and they're only $8 with a 20% off coupon), spray with non-stick cooking spray and fill each cup about 3/4 of the way full. Bake at 325 degrees for about 10 minutes.
Allow donuts to cool and make cinnamon sugar topping.

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

Mix together sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined. Brush each donut with melted butter, and then dip in cinnamon sugar topping.
