How to Make Apple Cider Doughnuts Not Fried

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 6-cup doughnut pan or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the apple cider, oil, eggs, and brown sugar. Whisk until well blended.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the chopped apples.
  6. Fill each doughnut cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze (optional).
