These easy Baked Apple Cider Donuts are dairy free, soy free, egg free, and nut free. I made them with wheat flour but they can easily be made wheat free and gluten free by substituting with a gluten free flour blend.
My family and I went apple and pumpkin picking this morning. I wish I had thought to pick up some apple cider at the store to make these donuts BEFORE going apple picking, but live and learn. Next year I’ll remember to bring the donuts with us already made. The smell of freshly baked cider donuts was overwhelming when we stepped inside the country store. We couldn’t resist buying some donuts that were still warm and fresh out of the oven. Mmmmm… My son only had to wait about 15 minutes after we got home for me to whip up a half a dozen allergy friendly donuts. They were sooo easy to make and better than the ones from the apple store IMO.
On to the recipe, let’s be honest here…it’s why you’re here, isn’t it?

These were so easy to make and easy to freeze! I’m going to make a big ol’ batch of cider donuts and freeze them for my son’s lunchbox! Maybe I’ll even dip some in chocolate…you know….everything does taste better with chocolate! 😉

What do you use for "cooking oil"? Just whatever safe oil, like vegetable, canola, etc?
I know this is late; but how many eggs would you recommend substituting the “egg replacement”? My son is DF but can have eggs.
Hi Emily! Use two eggs in place of the replacer! Hope you like them!
