I love fall, but I really love fall food!
Apples, apple cider donuts, and apple cider are my top faves.
So while I am on the hunt for the ultimate apple cider donut recipe..
I figured I’d try a few recipes that may be close and then figure it out from there.
I’m sure no one will mind taste testing!! 🙂
This recipe has been circulating the net for some time now,
and I can’t believe I haven’t tried it until now.
I feel it could use a little less nutmeg,
and that fall apple flavor to give it that fall donut flavor.
These are AMAZING, but I’m
really trying to associate it with apple cider donuts.
