Apple cider doughnuts with maple glaze are a delicious dessert that combines traditional autumn flavors with a modern touch. Originating from regions where apple cider is a popular beverage, especially in northern Spain and some Latin American countries, these doughnuts combine the smoothness and acidity of cider with the sweetness of maple syrup.
In Latin America, depending on the country, doughnuts may have different names and variations. For example, in Mexico they are commonly known as "donas" or "cinnamon doughnuts," while in Argentina or Chile, you can find similar recipes but with different types of glazes or flavorings. Apple cider as an ingredient provides a special flavor that sets them apart from traditional doughnuts, giving them a unique fruity aroma.
How to make apple cider doughnuts with maple glaze
To make the doughnuts: preheat the oven to 190 degrees C.
Grease the cavities of a mini bundt pan with non-stick spray or oil.
Sprinkle with sugar, shaking off the excess.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the egg, brown sugar, apple butter, maple syrup, cider, yogurt, and oil.
Add the dry ingredients and mix just until moistened.
Divide half of the batter among the prepared molds, filling each with about 2 generous tablespoons.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the top springs back to the touch.
Loosen the edges and unmold onto a wire rack to cool.
Clean the mini bundt pan, then grease again with oil and sugar.
Repeat with the remaining batter.
To make the maple glaze: in a bowl, mix powdered sugar and vanilla.
Gradually beat in enough maple syrup until a coating consistency is achieved.
Dip the shaped side of the "doughnuts" into the glaze to coat.
Then place them glaze-side up on a rack over waxed paper for a few minutes until the glaze sets.
The ingredients needed for this recipe are: all-purpose white flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, egg, brown sugar, apple butter, pure maple syrup, apple cider, non-fat plain yogurt, vegetable oil, powdered sugar, and pure vanilla extract.
