Description
These air-fried apple cider donut bites taste like fall thanks to apple pie spice and sparkling apple cider.
Ingredients
•
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
•
3 tablespoons white sugar
•
4 teaspoons baking powder
•
1 1/2 teaspoons apple pie spice
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1 (4 ounce) container unsweetened applesauce
•
1/2 cup sparkling apple cider
•
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
•
1 large egg
•
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
•
2 cups powdered sugar
•
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
•
1/4 cup sparkling apple cider
•
1 teaspoon caramel extract (optional)
Directions
1
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.
2
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, apple pie spice, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together.
3
Combine applesauce, sparkling apple cider, melted butter, egg, and vinegar in a small bowl; whisk until well combined. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients using a spatula and blend until just combined. Using a spring-hinged ice cream scoop, fill each individual cavity of the silicone donut mold with 2 tablespoons batter. Place mold into the air fryer basket.
4
Decrease temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and cook for 8 minutes. Carefully turn out the donut bites and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
5
Remove donut bites from the basket when done and let cool completely on a wire rack before glazing, about 30 minutes.
6
Combine powdered sugar and apple pie spice in a small bowl and whisk together. Add sparkling apple cider and caramel extract; whisk together until the glaze is smooth.
7
Dip each donut bite into the glaze, rolling it so that all sides are covered with the glaze. Set on a wire rack to allow the glaze to dry and harden before eating.
