Soft, spiced, and no fryer needed"

Fall in the Hudson Valley means one thing: apple cider doughnuts."

No deep fryer required - just an oven and a doughnut pan.

The secret? A deep reduction of apple cider, simmered down to concentrate the flavor.

Flour, brown sugar, warm spices, sour cream, grated apple, and that cider reduction."

Bake just 9–11 minutes, until they spring back to the touch.

Dip warm doughnuts in melted butter, then coat in cinnamon sugar.

Best served warm — or turned into a fall ice cream sandwich with caramel.
