4 of My Favorite Apple Cider Donut Recipes

If you're looking to make apple cider donuts this fall, I tested 9 popular recipes and here are my top 4 recommendations!

Brian Lagerstrom: Yeast donuts are not traditional (cake donuts are) but this is a fun option if you want more of a lift and chew to your donut. I recommend using only granulated sugar on the outside for optimal coverage!

Jessie Sheehan: This donut is SUPER light, airy and craggy from the use of low-protein cake flour and egg yolks, which lend an incredibly tender texture. These are a bit sticky to handle, but yield the most delicate and melt-in-your-mouth donuts!

Tasty: The sour cream in these donuts give these a tang that will remind you of a classic sour cream donut! These have a bit more chew yet remain airy--a great pick if you want a more flavorful donut base.

Smitten Kitchen: These are just a little less airy than Jessie Sheehan, but still melt-in-your-mouth! The dough is easier to handle and the technique makes the process a little more streamlined. I can't recommend these enough as a recipe to try if you're a newbie to apple cider donuts!
