Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk to combine. In a separate large bowl, combine the apple cider, sugar, buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk well, then add the apple cider mixture to the flour mixture and whisk to combine.
Pour the donut batter into greased donut molds, filling each donut mold about 2/3 full.
Bake in a preheated oven for about 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the top of the donuts spring back when gently pressed.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for about 2 minutes. Use a fork or knife to gently remove the donuts onto a sheet tray.
Combine the sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Lightly brush the tops of the donuts with melted butter, then dip into the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Serve donuts warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
