Apple Cider Doughnuts

Aryn

I love fall and I always want doughnuts for some reason! These Apple cider doughnuts are delicious and taste like fall! Homemade doughnuts take a little time but they are delicious and fun to make.

These doughnuts can be fried or baked and have a soft and tender interior. The dough is slightly sweet but a good balance to a sweet glaze. I like to make a apple cider and cream cheese glaze that tastes extra delicious. That recipe is included below.
