Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease pan with a little bit of butter.
In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt.
In separate bowl, mix ¼ cup apple cider, apple sauce, canola oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract, and then add to dry ingredients.
Mix until combined.
Using a spoon, fill prepared doughnut sections ¾ full.
Bake 10 minutes or until top springs back to the touch.
Remove from oven and cool in pan for 2 minutes.
Remove from pan and place on wire rack to cool a bit more.
While doughnuts are cooling, pour remaining ¼ cup apple cider in a small bowl.
In a gallon sized Ziploc bag, combine the topping mixture of ¾ cup sugar & 1 Tbsp. cinnamon.
The doughnuts should now be cool enough to touch, but still warm.
Quickly dunk half of flat side into bowl of cider. Flip and dip other half.
Place doughnut into Ziploc bag and gently shake in cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
Place back on rack to cool or serve immediately.
