Ingredients
For the Apple Cider/Butter Mixture:
- 735 g apple cider
- 113 g unsalted butter, room temp
For the Donut Muffins:
- 240 g all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 256 g apple cider/butter mixture
- 100 g brown sugar
- 50 g granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Spiced Sugar Topping:
- remaining apple cider/butter mixture
- 50 g granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom
Instructions
For the Apple Cider/Butter Mixture:
- Start by reducing the apple cider. Heat all of the 735g of apple cider in a sauce pan over medium heat. Simmer for about 20-25 minutes until you're left with half the volume.
- Add the unsalted butter to the reduced apple cider and set aside.
For the Donut Muffins:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a muffin pan with parchment cups.
- In a large sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, spices, and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together 256g of the apple cider/butter mixture, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, yogurt, buttermilk, and vanilla.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until fully combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin and bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before dipping in the topping.
For the Spiced Sugar Topping:
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and spices.
- Once the muffins are cool enough to touch, dip the tops into the remaining apple cider/butter mixture and then into the spiced sugar mixture.
