Salted caramel apple cider donuts

Salted caramel apple cider donuts recipe from @bijouxandbits

Remember that salted date caramel we made a couple of days ago? We’re cashing in on it with these salted caramel apple cider baked donuts. The donuts themselves are super light and fluffy with a traditional cake donut feel, and the date caramel gets turned into a sweet glaze. Then you just pile on some crushed up pretzels for a salty crunch. It’s bliss, baby.

I wanted to keep these semi Fall-themed, so the apple cider and cinnamon combination hits that note for me. The salted caramel is just a bonus. A really rich and tasty bonus.

I got to use my favorite donut pans again (like with these Mexican hot chocolate brownie donuts), which always make me happy. I just want to donut-ize everything.

  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz. apple cider
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp allspice
  • ¼ tsp apple pie spice
  • Salted caramel date glaze:
