Spiced apple cider donut

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups apple cider
  • 2 apples, finely chopped
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Korintje Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Allspice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 6 Tablespoons butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
  • 4 cups oil, for frying
  • ¾ cup Caster Sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons Ground Ginger

 

Directions:

In a shallow bowl, mix caster sugar and ground ginger; set aside.

Bring cider to a boil in a small saucepan; cook over high heat until reduced by half, about 12 minutes. Cool.

Whisk together dry ingredients (except ginger-sugar mix). In a separate bowl, whisk cooled cider, melted butter, eggs, and apples. Stir into dry ingredients until moistened; the dough will be sticky and hard to work with.

Cover and refrigerate for one hour, or until dough is firm enough to shape. Divide in half. On a floured surface, press each portion until it is about ½ inch thick; cut out donut shapes using a floured 3-in. donut cutter.

In a deep stockpot, heat 4 cups of oil to 325°. Fry donuts, a few at a time, until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side. Fry donut holes, six to seven at a time, until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 minute on each side. Drain excess oil on paper towels, then toss warm donuts in the sugar/ginger mixture before allowing to cool.
