Ingredients
Candied Pecans
- 1 cup pecans, finely diced
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- pinch of flaky sea salt
Apple Cider Donuts
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup avocado oil
- ½ cup apple cider concentrate
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground clove
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Maple Cinnamon Glaze
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
Candied Pecans
- Add the pecans and maple syrup to a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir until the syrup starts to thicken just a bit. Remove the pecans from the skillet and sprinkle them with a little flaky sea salt. Set aside to cool.
Apple Cider Donuts
- Add the sugar, oil, milk, eggs, apple cider concentrate, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl. Whisk everything together until it's well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the AP flour, ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and clove, baking powder and kosher salt. Whisk to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the pecans.
- Pipe the batter into a greased donut pan. I fill mine almost to the top, but not quite. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 11-13 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let them cool in the molds for about 5 minutes and onto a cooling rack for another 10-15 minutes.
Maple Cinnamon Glaze
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and pinch of salt and whisk until smooth.
- Take a cooled donut and dip it into the glaze so that it comes halfway up the sides of the donut. Repeat until all of the donuts are glazed.
- The glaze with set up in about 15-20 minutes and will be a little less messy while eating. Otherwise, dig in and enjoy!
Notes
- You can make the apple cider concentrate from scratch. Simply bring about one and a half cups of apple cider to a boil. Reduce the heat slightly and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the liquid has reduced to about ½ a cup. It's very simple and doable. Once it's reduced down, remove it from the heat and let it cool.
- The easiest way to get the Apple Cider Donut batter into the donut molds is by piping it in. If you do not have piping bags, grab a large zip top bag and fill it with the batter. Snip a small piece of the corner of the bag off and you have a homemade piping bag.
- Depending on the size of your donut pan, you'll get between 12-18 donuts.
