– 1 tsp cinnamon
– ½ tsp nutmeg
– ¼ tsp salt
– ¾ cup apple cider
– ⅔ cup granulated sugar

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a doughnut pan. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Spoon the batter into the doughnut pan, filling each mold about ⅔ of the way full. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a doughnut comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let the doughnuts cool for a few minutes before removing them from the pan. Dip each doughnut in the melted butter, then in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
