While this apple cider donuts recipe takes a few spices, most of the ingredients needed are likely ones you already have on hand.:

Apples – There are so many varieties that you can use but my favorites for this recipe are Granny Smith, Golden Delicious or Honeycrisp. But you can use Gala, Fuii, or MacIntosh too! 

Butter – If you have been here a while you know how I feel about butter. Butter really adds a rich flavor to this recipe, so I recommend unsalted. But you can use salted if that is all you have and margarine will work too.

Milk – You can use whole milk or 2% for this recipe. I do not recommend non-fat milk.

Apple Pie Spice - Use this easy Apple Pie Spice recipe or a store-bought spice.

Equipment

You are going to need a few cooking equipment pieces for this recipe:

  • Donut pan
  • Heavy bottom pan or cast-iron skillet
  • Parchment Paper

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
