Recipe View Serve: Serve warm and enjoy the delicious, spiced flavor of these homemade apple cider doughnuts!

For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter.
If you don't have a doughnut cutter, use a biscuit cutter and a smaller round cutter for the center hole.
For a glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and a splash of apple cider or milk until smooth. Dip cooled doughnuts into the glaze and let set.
Doughnuts are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
