Ingredients

• Donut Ingredients:
• • 1 cup apple cider
• • 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
• • 1 egg
• • 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
• • 1⁄4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• • 1 1⁄2 tsp baking powder
• • 1 tsp vanilla extract
• • 1⁄2 tsp cinnamon
• • 1⁄4 tsp nutmeg
• • 1⁄4 tsp salt
• Topping Ingredients:
• • 2 tbsp sugar
• • 1⁄2 tsp cinnamon
• • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• • 1⁄4 cup confectioners sugar
• • 2 tsp apple cider
• • variety of orange, yellow, black, candy sprinkles and round non-pariels
• • candy corns *optional

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, boil apple cider until reduced to 1⁄2 cup. Set aside to cool.
   
2. Melt butter in a small saucepan, or microwave. Set aside.
   
3. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
   
4. Add brown sugar, egg, yogurt, and vanilla.
   
5. Add melted butter.
   
6. Add reduced apple cider.
   
7. Thoroughly mix all ingredients until it's a smooth batter. Set aside.
   
8. Gather topping ingredients. Mix together sugar and cinnamon in a small shallow dish. Place
   butter in a small shallow dish. Combine confectioners sugar and apple cider to make a glaze and
   place in a small dish. Set aside. *Using shallow dishes allows you to easily dip the donuts into
   the butter, glaze, and cinnamon sugar.
   
9. Spray or oil Dash Donut Maker and plug in to heat up. You don't need to re-oil in between
   batches.
   
10. Spoon batter into donut spaces. I filled them up all the way. *You'll notice the batter start to rise
    before you finish filling all the spaces and that's ok. Set the timer for 1 minute.
    
11. Flip the donuts using a cake tester or long toothpick. *The donuts will be quite hot. Set your
    timer for 2 minutes. (the Dash recipe book calls for cooking the donuts for a longer period of
    time, 5 1⁄2 minutes total, I don't recommend it.)
    
12. Lift the donuts out and set on the wire rack until all the donuts have been made. You should be
    able to make about 4 batches.
    
13. To decorate cinnamon sugar donuts: dip the donuts into the butter and then immediately into the
    cinnamon sugar mix. Set on the rack.
    
14. To decorate with sprinkles: using fingers or a cake tester, chopstick, or other long thin tool, dip
    donuts into glaze. Place donuts glaze side up on wire rack and using fingers or a small spoon,
    quickly add candy sprinkles and toppings before the glaze hardens. *Kids would love
    decorating these donuts and personalizing their own.
    
15. Serve with milk, apple cider, coffee, or tea. Enjoy!
