How Do you Make these donuts?

In a small saucepan, boil apple cider until reduced to 1⁄2 cup. Set aside to cool.Melt butter in a small saucepan, or microwave. Set aside.In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add brown sugar, egg, yogurt, and vanilla. Add melted butter. Add reduced apple cider. Thoroughly mix all ingredients until it’s a smooth batter. Set aside. 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.Spray or oil Dash Donut Maker and plug in to heat up. You don’t need to re-oil in between batches.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.

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.) 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.

To decorate cinnamon sugar donuts: dip the donuts into the butter and then immediately into the cinnamon sugar mix. Set on the rack. 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.

Serve with milk, apple cider, coffee, or tea. Enjoy!
