Baked Apple Cider Donuts
These are super quick and easy to put together. You can even create different varietal flavors by utilizing flavored sugars.
I have had my donut pan for a long time and baking donuts has been on my to do list for a long time. I was so excited when the Baking Bloggers announced the theme of Baked Donuts. I would FINALLY get the chance to christen my donut pan.
I love going to the farmer’s markets and getting Apple Cider Donuts so I decided the baked version of these would be even healthier, yet still delicious.

Definitely perfect for fall! I love the idea of topping with homemade flavored sugars.
thanks – yes stay tuned for the flavored sugars post!
Love the sugars! I was so happy to have a chance to use my donut pan too.
yes me too – I’ve had it for over a year!!!
Great idea with the sugars and I love that you used whole wheat flour. It always makes me feel virtuous LOL.
LOL – yes this whole wheat version is definitely healthier although I don’t know about virtuosity 🙂
I like how you have made these a little healthier by using whole wheat flour.
Thanks – I try to use whole wheat pastry flour whenever I have it in stock because it has a very tender crumb – practically the same as using all purpose flour
So glad I’m not the only one who let their donut pan sit around forever!!! I must remember to use it more often!!!
now I have christened it, I also definitely have to use it more!
