Instructions
1
|
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Grease doughnut tins* with non-stick spray.
2
|
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Add the sour cream and apple cider and whisk until incorporated.
3
|
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and allspice. Pour the dry ingredient mixture into the bowl with the combined wet ingredients and stir just until no streaks or large lumps of flour remain. Do not overmix!
4
|
Transfer the batter to a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off or a piping bag fitted with a wide tip. Pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut tins, filling each doughnut well about ½ full.
5
|
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the doughnut comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 more minutes. Bake the remaining donuts.

|
Place the melted butter in a bowl that is at least wider than a donut. In another bowl that size, stir together the sugar and cinnamon. Dunk each cooled donut into the melted butter and then coat in the cinnamon sugar on both sides. Repeat this process with all of the donuts. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Reduce Apple Cider for Intense Flavor 🍎Reduce the apple cider by simmering it down to concentrate the flavor before adding to the batter, which will intensify the apple essence in your donuts.
- Room Temperature Ingredients Matter 🌡️Ensure all dairy ingredients like sour cream and eggs are at room temperature to create a smoother, more evenly mixed batter that results in lighter, fluffier donuts.
- Donut Pan Prep Perfection 🧈Thoroughly grease your donut pan with butter and dust with flour to ensure the donuts release cleanly and maintain their perfect shape after baking.
- Spice Blend Hack 🌿Toast your ground cinnamon and allspice briefly in a dry pan before mixing to unlock deeper, more complex warming flavors in the donut spice mixture.
- Coating Technique Secret 🍬Dip warm donuts in melted butter and then immediately roll in a cinnamon-sugar mixture for a crisp, bakery-style exterior that locks in moisture.
