BAKED VEGAN APPLE CIDER DONUTS
With the kids finishing the first month of school, temperatures beginning to drop, and the days getting noticeably shorter, I couldn’t be more excited. Fall is both a wonderfully nostalgic time for me, as I reflect on past years and old family traditions, while simultaneously representing new beginnings and fresh starts. There is a world of potential ahead of us!
These Apple Cider Donuts are actually one of my very first recipes I made for My Darling Vegan. Way back in 2013, when my life looked drastically different, I first whipped up a batch. Despite the inconsistency of life, these donuts have been a constant. And you guys have loved them, too!

1 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup apple cider
1/4 cup apple sauce
1 tbsp. coconut oil, melted
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Apple Cider Glaze
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp apple cider

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a donut pan and set aside.
In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together maple syrup, apple cider, apple sauce, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until just combined.
Spoon or pipe batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until donuts springs back when gently pressed. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for a few minutes before transferring doughnuts onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and apple cider in a small shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, combine ingredients for cinnamon sugar topping.
Once doughnuts have cooled, dip the tops of each doughnut into the glaze. Immediately sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Let glaze harden and enjoy!
