Apple Cider Doughnuts With Maple Glaze

"In the Vermont countryside, there are two sure signs of spring: frost heaves in the road and smoke rising from the chimneys of the sugarhouses. This recipe was inspired by treats you find while touring this corner of America: cider doughnuts and maple syrup. A mini-Bundt pan produces adorable doughnut-shaped cakes, but if you do not have one, you can use a regular Bundt pan and make a coffee cake; bake it in a 375-degree F oven fo r 25 to 30 minutes."

directions

  • To make Doughnuts: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Coat molds of a mini-Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray or oil.
  • Sprinkle with sugar, shaking out excess.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside.
  • In another bowl, whisk together egg, brown sugar, apple butter, maple syrup, cider, yogurt and oil.
  • Add dry ingredients and stir just until moistened.
  • Divide half the batter among the prepared molds, spooning about 2 generous tablespoonfuls of batter into each mold.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops spring back when touched lightly.
  • Loosen edges and turn the cakes out onto a rack to cool.
  • Clean the mini-Bundt pan, then re-coat it with oil and sugar.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • To make maple glaze: In a bowl, combine confectioners sugar and vanilla.
  • Gradually whisk in enough maple syrup to make a coating consistency.
  • Dip the shaped side (underside) of the "doughnuts" in the glaze to coat. Then set them, glazed-side up on a rack over wax paper for a few minutes until the glaze has set.

  1. This is an unusual recipe that is particularly attractive in the mini-bundt pans shape. I believe that it is a low fat recipe as I first viewed it in Eating Well magazine. There are not enough recipes using apple cider and I appreciate this excellent doughnut with the maple frosting.
     
  2. Delicious! Made doughnuts, muffins and cupcakes! Didn't bother with the glaze as they are sweet & moist enough. As I have lots of apple butter, made last year, and live in Herefordshire renowned for cider, I'll definately be using this recipe again! I'll take a photo if they last long enough!!
     
  3. These were the first doughnuts I have ever made, and they were amazing. I didn't even do the glaze, cause we loved them without the extra sugar!
