Directions
- FOR THE DOUGHNUTS
- STEP ONE
In a small saucepan, bring cider to a rapid boil; cook over high heat until reduced by half, about 12 minutes. Cool completely.
- STEP TWO
Whisk together flours, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and spices. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter and cooled cider; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened (dough will be sticky). Refrigerate, covered, until firm enough to shape, about 1 hour.
- STEP THREE
Divide dough in half. On a floured surface, pat each portion to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 3-in doughnut cutter.
- STEP FOUR
In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 325F. Fry donuts, a few at a time, until golden brown, 2-3 minutes on each side. Fry doughnut holes, a few at a time, until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 minute on each side. Drain on paper towels; cool slightly. Add Baileys Glaze.
- FOR THE GLAZE
- STEP FIVE
Beat in icing sugar to 50ml Baileys until thick and when you pull a knife through the mix the crease disappears at about 7-10 seconds.
- STEP SIX
Add more Baileys if too thick and more icing sugar if too thin.
About this Recipe
Is there anything better than fresh spiced apple doughnuts? Yes… actually. The same spiced apple doughnuts with Baileys glaze. These are the perfect grownup indulgence for those cooler winter months, but in the unlikely event they don’t get eaten instantly, store them in an airtight container until you need another treat. They can also freeze for around 2 months, but we’d be surprised if they ever needed to last that long.
