People will think these are traditional cider doughnut holes, but they never actually see a fryer, instead getting a quick bath in melted butter and a toss in cinnamon sugar while still warm from the oven. They're super cute, super delicious, and even better, super easy and super fast.
Recipe Facts
Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
-
1/2 teaspoon ginger
-
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
-
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
-
1 cup apple cider
-
1 large egg
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
7 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled, divided
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Directions
-
Set rack in center of oven, preheat to 400°F. Liberally spray mini muffin pans with nonstick spray, set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Add brown sugar and work into mixture by hand to break up clumps. Set aside. In a second bowl, whisk together cider, egg, vanilla, and 3 tablespoons melted butter. Add wet to dry ingredients and quickly but gently fold together until all streaks of flour are just incorporated and you have a light, fluffy batter. Divide evenly between cups of muffin pans (about 2/3 full) and bake for 8-10 minutes, turning once.
-
While muffins are baking, whisk together remaining cinnamon and granulated sugar. As soon as muffins are done, immediately turn out onto a rack and roll them a few at a time in the melted butter, then remove to cinnamon sugar and shake until well-coated. Let muffins continue to cool on rack. You may reheat to serve, with the oven at 400°F— it will only take 1 or 2 minutes.
