How to Make Apple Cider Doughnut Holes
- To start, set the oven to 350 degrees, and use butter or a cooking spray, such as Pam to grease a mini muffin pan.
- First, add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sugar into a large bowl and combine using a whisk.
- Secondly, pour in the apple cider, milk, egg, and vanilla and combine until fully incorporated.
- Thirdly, so each section of the mini muffin pan using a small cookie scoop is about 3/4 of the way full.
- Next, place the pan into the oven to bake for eight to 10 minutes, or until fully cooked.
- Allow your doughnut holes to slightly cool.
- Finally, take out each of the donut holes and roll.
Glaze:
- To finish, dip each of the doughnut holes in the cinnamon-sugar and butter mixture.
- Serve warm and Enjoy!
Can Apple Cider Donut Holes Be Frozen?
Storing in the freezer will improve its shelf life up to 3 months, but you can also make a bunch and be set to have tasty doughnut holes for a while. For the best storage method, you will want to place them in an airtight container, like a freezer bag.
Can I Make Baked Apple Cinnamon Donuts in Advance?
Yes, you can make apple cinnamon donuts in advance if you would like. You can prepare all of your ingredients and batter and store them in the fridge in an airtight container. When you are ready to make the doughnuts, just pull the batter out of the fridge and you are ready to go. The baked donuts will last for about 3 days.

I also got 36 holes baked for 12 minutes. They’re delicious!
Can I use almond milk instead?
Hi Maureen. Yes you could use almond milk as a substitute.
How many donuts in a pan would this make? Guessing 6?
Hi Cary. Yes I would think 6 donuts as well.
These are very tasty. But I am a bit confused. The recipes says 12 donut holes but yet this recipe made 36. Luckily I had another mini muffin pan. It also took about 18-20 minutes for them to cook & it took double the amount of coating to do them all.
I love to. Bake and I also love donuts
