Hello Lorraine,
I'm not sure. There are three recipes below for baked apple cider donuts.
Recipes for fried ones are here: Apple Cider Donuts, Fried
Phaed
Apple Cider Donuts
Servings: 12-24, depending on capacity of donut pan
Comments:
These donuts are low in fat as they are baked in the oven instead
of deep fried. Good for people on low-colesterol, low fat diets.
Ingredients:
Approximately 3 tbsp. sugar for preparing pans
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup apple butter
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/3 cup apple cider
1/3 cup nonfat plain yogurt
3 tbsp. vegetable oil
Special Pan:
You will need a mini bundt baking pan with 6 or 12 cavities or
A 6 or 12 cavity donut baking pan*
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 C). Coat molds of a mini-Bundt
pan with nonstick cooking spray or oil. Sprinkle with sugar, shaking
out excess. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder,
baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside. In another bowl, whisk
together egg, brown sugar, apple butter, maple syrup, cider, yogurt
and oil. Add dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Divide
half the batter among the prepared molds, spooning about 2 generous
tbsp. of batter into each mold. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until
the tops spring back when touched lightly. Loosen edges and turn the
cakes out onto a rack to cool. Clean the mini-bundt pan, then re-coat
it with oil and sugar. Repeat with remaining batter.
Makes 12-24 donuts, depending on the size pan you are using.

Apple-Cider Doughnuts with Maple Glaze
Doughnuts
Approx. 3 Tbsp. sugar for preparing pans
2 cups all-purpose white flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup apple butter
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/3 cup apple cider
1/3 cup nonfat plain yogurt
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil,
preferably canola oil
Maple Glaze
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/4-1/3 cup pure maple syrup
In the Vermont countryside, there are two sure signs of spring:
frost heaves in the road and smoke rising from the chimneys of
the sugarhouses. This recipe was inspired by treats you find
while touring this corner of America: cider doughnuts and maple
syrup. A mini-Bundt pan produces adorable doughnut-shaped cakes,
but if you do not have one, you can use a regular Bundt pan and
make a coffee cake; bake it in a 375-degree F oven for 25 to 30
minutes.
To make Doughnuts: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat molds of
a mini-Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray or oil. Sprinkle
with sugar, shaking out excess.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking
soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside. In another bowl, whisk
together egg, brown sugar, apple butter, maple syrup, cider,
yogurt and oil. Add dry ingredients and stir just until moistened.
Divide half the batter among the prepared molds, spooning about
2 generous tablespoonfuls of batter into each mold. Bake for 10
to 12 minutes, or until the tops spring back when touched lightly.
Loosen edges and turn the cakes out onto a rack to cool. Clean the
mini-Bundt pan, then re-coat it with oil and sugar. Repeat with
the remaining batter.
To make maple glaze: In a bowl, combine confectioners sugar and
vanilla. Gradually whisk in enough maple syrup to make a coating
consistency. Dip the shaped side (underside) of the "doughnuts"
in the glaze to coat. Then set them, glazed-side up on a rack
over wax paper for a few minutes until the glaze has set.
