Apple Cider Donuts

One of my favorite fall activities is apple picking. I love walking through the rows of trees and picking fresh Macintosh apples until my bag is so full and heavy that it feels like my arms might break! That’s usually my queue to eat one.. ya know.. to lighten the load. However, a day of apple picking would not be complete without apple cider donuts! They are the perfect fall treat; perfectly sweet and spiced. This recipe makes 18 mini donuts perfect for enjoying with your morning cup of coffee.
