Instructions
- Reduce the apple cider to ½ cup. Bring the cider to a boil in a small saucepan, once it has been brought to a rolling boil, reduce heat and let simmer, uncovered for about 30-50 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
- Once you have reduced your cider to ½ cup, set aside to cool and shred your apple. Peel a large apple and shred it with a cheese grater, you will need to squeeze out some excess juice.
- Preheat your oven to 350℉ and prepare your donut pan by spraying with nonstick spray.
- In a bowl whisk together your flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, clove, allspice, nutmeg, cardamom, and salt.
- In a separate bowl whisk together your butter, egg, brown sugar, whole milk, vanilla, and shredded apple.
- Pour your wet ingredients and reduced apple cider into your dry ingredients. Whisk everything together until well combined, no clumps should remain.
- Pour your batter into your prepared donut pan. You can use a piping bag with the tip cut off to pipe the batter into the pan, filling each cavity about halfway.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. To check doneness, tap the top of a donut, if it bounces back it is ready. Remove the donuts from oven and allow to cool in the pan 2-3 minutes.
- Remove donuts from pan and allow to finish cooling on a wire rack before glazing.
- In a bowl, mix together your powdered sugar, apple cider mix, vanilla, and milk.
- Take your cooled donuts and dip one side into glaze, allowing any excess glaze to drip off back into the bowl.
- Optional: Dust with cinnamon
