Simple flavors, baked into a delicious, fluffy donut and sprinkled with light cinnamon sugar.

Baked Apple Cider Donuts from Lauren Kelly Nutrition. All of the flavors, none of the guilt!

Ah, the wonderful flavors of fall.

Anyone else feel like apple is the underrated, forgotten flavor?

Ok, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration and I am guilty of giving pumpkin WAY too much attention, but apple deserves it’s own celebration too!

I love apple all year long, but there is something about in-season apple cider that just makes me happy.

I am sure I shared this with you before, but just in case you missed it, here it goes….

I don’t like donuts.  Or doughnuts.

Let me clarify, I don’t like FRIED donuts or doughnuts (which is it, anyway??).  But give me a BAKED donut and I am in heaven.  Because let’s be honest, it’s just like a light and fluffier muffin, shaped in the letter O, right?

And speaking of muffins, if you don’t have one of these handy dandy baked donut pans, you can easily make these into muffins.

    My husband loves apple cider donuts! He used to always get them on the boardwalk in Ocean City and also the farmers markets with Amish stands when we lived in PA.
