Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a small bowl, whisk together yeast and warm apple cider (about 100°F to 110°F). Let it sit for 5-7 minutes, or until frothy.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3
Add the melted butter, egg, and yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
4
Knead the dough for 10-12 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
6
Preheat the oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F. Punch down the dough and roll it out to 1/2-inch thickness.
7
Cut out the donuts using a donut cutter or a glass. Fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
8
Drain the donuts on paper towels and let them cool for 5-7 minutes. Dip the donuts in the caramel glaze and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
