My sister and I are going to try both donuts fritter and cider and see what we prefer. Your videos look awesome keep up the good work and we missed your dance at the end.

These look fantastic and I'm so happy to see the lack of shame over buying pre-mixed pumpkin spice. I will say though, for these or any other apple (or carrot!) desserts you might make in the future, I do urge you to try ground cardamom in your testing phase. I'm not a bit fan of allspice, but cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cardamom are absolutely amazing!

My husband will love theses, thanks.

Fritttterz are the best. But this is a good alternative.

Every couple years or so I take a half gallon of unfiltered cider and leave it on the stove on low for most of the day, until it gets down to about 2 cups. It's spectacular, every drop tastes like fresh apples. It takes all day, it dirties a couple dishes and takes up space in my fridge forever but it is worth it for me. I guess it more of of an evaporated cider than a boiled cider but I tried boiled cider first and it was not what I was hoping for.

Apple fritter all the way, my friend. I'll be whipping up a batch of your fritters soon.

Deep in cider donuts

Made these for my sons birthday last weekend they were a big hit. I did them in the air fryer instead of oil. It gave me some crispy donuts but I had to brush on a little melted butter to get the sugar and cinnamon to stick as the fryer dried out the exterior a little much. I’ll have to work on that issue. In the end they were dope. Love the videos Barbacoa beef tacos are a weekly thing here since my wife’s family owns a dairy farm beef is never in short supply in our house.

These look fantastic. I'm watching A LOT of recipes making my first cider donuts (and first donuts in general). Appreciate the suggestion on not reducing down the cider and especially the salt in the coating, which I'm excited to try. Do you have a modified version of this recipe for baking rather than frying?

@BrianLagerstrom

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching. I do not, I’d coat in neutral oil and bake at 375 degrees for 12 or so minutes. That’s an estimate.

i love appIe cider donuts and decided to give theses a try... never have fryed donuts before they came out looking fabulous... all ingredients were weighed...the texture was right with a nice crunch after frying.... taste was more on the salty side and would seemed to be more from the sugar coating...i plan on reducing the 5 grams salts down a few grams... i had also air fryed a couple of donuts...taste was similar but the donuts would need to be brushed with melted butter to get the coating to stick...they didn't look as good appearance wise as the fryed ones... i will see if i can dial that in next time using the air fryer... trying your cake dounts next...since i have oil needing to be used :>)

Apple fritter, but if I go back to New England, then a cider donuts.

Combine both the apple fritter recipe and the apple cider doughnut and finish with an apple butter dip :) yum!

Revisiting this one so I could make the donuts, just wondering what if you married some of the concepts of the Fritter to the donut?

Great video! Are you using instant yeast or just regular yeast that I don’t need to poof?

@BrianLagerstrom

I am using SAF instant yeast. I never proof it. Thank you for watching the vid!

Brian, you asked for feedback and so here goes: Apple cider cake doughnuts only taste their best in the Fall. At least to me. Apple fritters should be made from an all yeast dough with bits of crisp apple and dipped into a somewhat thick glaze that forms a milky white sugar coating or crust. My one time favs were sold at Target through their Market Pantry brand, but as with too much out there, the quality eventually drops off. I then lose my taste for them and want to cry. Oh, but the happiness I felt while eating those fritters in their heyday--in morning with a huge cup of coffee. Such lovely memories.....Sigh.

is it possible to put these in the fridge over night during the 1 hour covered rise to fry early in the morning?

Gonna try these stat. The age old question tho, how do you keep donuts. Ones I made were immediately stale the next day :( The answer is probably just eat them all.

@BrianLagerstrom

3 жыл бұрын

Ben Christie there really isn’t a way I’ve found, they are mucho perishable. I would say freeze them once cooled off and then reheat In 325 oven. That’s worked for me pretty well. Microwave works for 10 seconds too but you lose any crispness. Godspeed bro. Pics or it didn’t happen, feel me?

Can I use a stand mixer? I want to do these tomorrow 😅

I love to drink apple cider and would probably have the ingredients to make cider donuts more often. However I do like going apple picking so making both would be a treat. Donut shops typically make fritters from the scrap dough after cutting their yeast risen donuts. Do you think if I double this recipe I can add the apples from your fritter recipe and make the double down cider apple fritter donut explosion. I’m a best of both worlds kind of guy.

Mimip that's sooooo lame why'd you do that

If making the dough with a bowl and spatula, I assume you end up having to knead like a regular dough .... Would it be 5-10 minutes and remain sticky? Or should there be little to no "stick" by the time you let it rest? .... Unfortunately my food processor is a little to small for the job this time.

The fact that you rarely use the spices that make up pumpkin spice is so wild to me. I use ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg on a regular basis 😂

Do you think there is any way I can add apple butter this recipe?

@BrianLagerstrom

theheckwithit I did myself in the first few test batches. I didn’t find that it added much in terms of apple flavor, and the added sugar made the donuts take on more Color faster and almost burn before they were cooked. I don’t recommend.

First donuts ever! My official taste-tester (aka "the wife") found them to be *ever-so-slightly* salty...not in an "eww, these are too salty to eat!" way, though...just noticeable. I did use unsalted butter (you didn't specify) and used coarse Kosher salt for both the dough and the sprinkling (I know that regular ol' iodized salt can make dishes way too salty since it's so fine). I used 100% unfiltered apply juice because I didn't want to buy a huge gallon of apple cider that I'd then have to drink later and I thought they were tasty and not too salty, but any suggestions for what to do different next time? Thanks! :)

Hi Brian. I have a small push cart hot dog cart. I do not think I can make these donuts and be profitable. Gotta have a much bigger recipe and I fear these fried donuts might degrade too much by the time I transport them to the cart and put them on location.

I would love make these in the morning, but three hours of resting the dough means getting up too early. Is there any part I can do the night before?

Afternoon Bri - I know this is an older video, but I have a question - when you're saying "apple cider", you're not referring to something alcoholic, are you? Over here in the UK, "apple cider" is an alcoholic product, but with you saying "not from concentrate", that sounded more like an apple juice.

So, apple cider is the alcoholic beverage which the Irish drink a lot, right? And not the seem as regular apple juice, or am i missing something?
