Delectable Beverage-Flavored Donuts

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Apple Cider Fritters are Tasty Fall Snacks

— September 27, 2012 — Special
Capture the warm homey smell of apple cinnamon in a circular mold of sweet, sugary goodness with these apple cider donut fall snacks.

As autumn comes around the corner and the weather picks up a blistery chill, it's nice to keep warm with soothing spiced teas and ciders infused with cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. These donuts combine the refreshing and addictive taste of warm apple cider in an edible pastry that will have you smacking your lips. The ingredients include fall staples like apple cider, ground cinnamon and nutmeg. The cider is reduced in a sauce pan and then thrown into a mixing bowl where spices, flour and eggs are added. When everything is blended harmoniously, the dough is scooped into little balls and placed into a frying pan with vegetable oil to cook them to crispy perfection.

It is up to you how you whether you would like to coat your delicious fall snacks with powered sugar or glazed cinnamon icing.
