• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 large Eggs
• 6 Tablespoon butter (melted and cooled)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a saucepan bring apple cider to a boil. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until it is reduced by half. Cool completely.

2. 2

   In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and spices. Set aside

3. 3

   In a small bowl mix together cooled cider, eggs, and melted butter.

4. 4

   Add apple cider mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Cover and place in fridge for about an hour until it is firm enough to roll out.

5. 5

   Heat oil in a large stock pot to 325º F

6. 6

   Roll the dough on a floured surface, until about 1/2 thick. Use a donut cutter to cut into 12 donuts.

7. 7

   Mix together cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.

8. 8

   Fry donuts 2-3 at a time, being sure not to crowd the pan. Donuts will take 2-3 minutes per side to cook, the donut holes will take about 1 minute per side.

9. 9

   Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Once cool enough to handle roll through cinnamon and sugar mixture. Set on wire rack until ready to serve.
