Baked Apple Cider Doughnuts

Get ready for your new favorite fall recipe.  This weekend I took my cousin and his girlfriend to a local apple orchard that makes the best apple cider.  When I woke up yesterday morning I was craving doughnuts and knew we had just enough cider left to make a batch of these little gems.  So I grabbed my mini doughnut pan, brewed some coffee, and got to work! 

I've made apple cider doughnuts before but these are even easier for a relaxed morning.  Baked and not fried which means they're ready to go in 30 minutes!  I'm so glad I took the time to adapt this recipe because I'm going to be making it all autumn.  Recipe after the jump.  Happy apple season!

I could eat a pile of these little cake doughnuts!  Now that it's the weekend that's allowed right?  I'm also obsessed with this color combination, love the turquoise and pink.  

What are you lovelies up to this weekend?  Tonight we're celebrating a friends birthday by having dinner and seeing an AC/DC cover band at the House of Blues and then the rest of the weekend is open for relaxing, bbqing, yoga, and baking.
