Baked Apple Cider Donuts

"Love sinking your teeth into a warm, soft, fresh-from-the-orchard donut each fall? Now you can easily make a batch of cozy baked apple cider donuts in the comfort of your own kitchen -- whenever the craving strikes! Laced with the sweet taste of apple cider, seasoned with autumn spices, and coated in cinnamon-sugar, they're the perfect morning treat. Serve them with a mug of hot coffee, tea, or wassail on a chilly day. The orchards and bakeries here in the mountains of Central Virginia sell some amazing apple cider donuts each fall. Since they're one of my kids' favorite treats, I decided to create my own version that we could easily bake at home (no deep-frying necessary!). These donuts are rich and cake-like, they rise high, and they're full of warm autumn flavor. My boys adore them...and I hope that you'll love them, too!"
