This post is going to be SUPER fast because I have a TON of work to do!! I have a slight obsession with Cider Donuts. If you remember my post from Field of Beers, you probably already know that. A couple weeks ago, someone left their Pear Cider in our cooler. I’d wanted to make Bake Apple Cider donuts for a while and figured the pear would make the recipe more creative.

These donuts are baked instead of fried, so you’re allowed to continue popping them in our mouth until you relive you only have a couple left for photos. Oops!

I rolled them in melted butter and cinnamon after they came out of the oven which added great flavor and texture. They are more dense then traditional donuts. They’re not ‘too’ dense but just an heads up if you make them. They’re not light and fluffy like Krispy Kream. Yummmm Donuts!!!

For this recipes, I used Magners Original Irish Pear Cider. The cider I used was pretty good. Tart and refreshing with a strong pear smell. The pear flavor was subtle but you could definitely taste it.
