Sugar– Every great dessert-style recipe uses sugar.
Apple Cider– This will add the main flavoring of the holes.

Butter– Use unsalted butter to control the amount of salt in the recipe.

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!
