  1. I doubled this and made it in a regular bundt pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes. VERY easy and (relativly) healthy.
     
  2. Theyse are great! I love the texture of them and the flavor. I used some homemade apple butter and since I didn't have the vanilla yogurt so I used plain and added some vanilla and sweetner. I noticed that the instructions weren't real clear about the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Note that when you shake out the excess you will need to save it to put on top of the batter or you'll have to mix up more before you bake them. We will definitely be making these again.
     
  3. Very good doughnuts. Enjoyed by everyone. I had some apple cider that I had reduced (I had 2 cups and reduced down to 2/3 of a cup) and wanted to use up so I tried it in this recipe. I also used french vanilla yogurt. I got 12 nice sized mini bundt cake doughnuts. I would like to try this as a bundt cake next time. Thanks for posting this recipe, one I will be making again.
     
  4. Absolutely wonderful! I made these a step healthier and changed flours to 1 1/4 c. AP flour, 1/2 c. whole wheat flour, and 1/2 c. oat flour. I also didn't have any apple butter, so I used regular apple sauce and added 1/2 t. Trader Joes Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix. I only used 1/2 the baking soda, and it was plenty. I hate the after-taste of too much!
     
  5. Change cider to boiled cider. Try them plain before you mess them up with "stuff" on them. They are fresh tasting with the apple taste coming through.

<p> <p> <p>Greetings from the palm of the Mitten State! I'm a 40-somthing gal with an awesome husband, Todd, and step-son, David. And I had the great privilege to be mom to the world's best cat, Bentley, for almost 12 years. As of 3/10/09 he's now free from all the ailments that plagued his past few years and is now a soft and gentle spirit who will be with me always. He was my best friend and the first real love of my life and leaves a cat-shaped hole in life.</p> <p><span style=color: #000000;>February 4, 2010, 2 new kitties joined our family.&nbsp; Nick and Nate were adopted from our local humane society and fill our home with purrs and laughter and lots of fur.&nbsp; We're lucky to have these two sweet kitty boys with us.</span></p> </p> <p>I'm&nbsp;a certified medical coder&nbsp;but currently enjoying being a stay-at-home cat mom.&nbsp; In past work lives I've been&nbsp;a corporate travel consultant, an auto claim assistant, a loan clerk, a secretary and an usher.<br /><br />I like to cook and LOVE to bake. It's great to share the gift of good food with my sweet wonderful husband, family and friends and co-workers. And I try to enter a couple different baked goods in my county fair each year.<br /><br />When I'm not working in the kitchen I enjoy reading, walking, scrapbooking, genealogy, and visiting with family and friends. I also love animals, and was a cat care volunteer at a local shelter for many years.</p> <p>&nbsp;<br /><br />R?E'S STAR RATINGS (effective for 2007 ratings and beyond) <br />5 -- Amazing! Incredible! Want to eat it or drink it all the time! Obviously this wowed us. Maybe it?s too decadent to make very often, but we can dream. <br /><br />4 -- Great! We loved it and will probably be having this frequently. <br /><br />3 -- Good . We liked it and might have it again, possibly with some changes. <br /><br />2 -- Passable. We ate it but won?t eat any leftovers and won?t be making this again, at least not as written. This will probably be due most often to one flavor being too strong. <br /><br />1 -- Inedible. There?s a critical error in the recipe. <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/berriesblinkie.gif alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Animation1.gif alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/purplechefhat.gif alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/chef3.jpg alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /> <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/totmtaggame-1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z205/jubespage/stacky5.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/CookathonforKarensticker.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/vjuhl/MEPcookathon.jpg alt= /></p> </p>
