I wanted to make a gluten-free doughnut that tasted so good, the fact that it’s gluten-free is beside the point! —Kathryn Conrad, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Gluten-Free Apple Cider Doughnuts Recipe

Prep: 20 min. + standing Bake: 15 min. + cooling

Yield: 10 Servings

20 15 35

Ingredients

2 cups gluten-free biscuit/baking mix
3/4 cup sugar
1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
GLAZE:
1 cup apple cider or juice
1 tablespoon butter, softened
2/3 to 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, mix the first eight ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the water, butter, applesauce and vanilla until blended. Add to the dry ingredients; stir until blended. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Cut a small hole in the corner of a food-safe plastic bag; fill with batter. Pipe into a 6-cavity doughnut pan coated with cooking spray, filling cavities three-fourths full.
Bake at 325° for 11-14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter.
For glaze, in a small saucepan, bring apple cider to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to 3 tablespoons. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in butter until melted. Stir in enough confectioners' sugar to reach glaze consistency. Dip each doughnut halfway, allowing excess to drip off. Place on wire rack; let stand until set. Yield: 10 doughnuts.

I won't rate this recipe because I didn't exactly follow it. I wanted to see what happened when I used low fat Bisquick instead of gluten-free biscuit mix. It was a disaster. They were so delicate that they fell apart when carefully trying to get them out of the pan. The flavor was good however, and we ate the cake scraps without the glaze anyway. I'm going to take these flavors and the glaze and merge them into another doughnut recipe.

These go fast in our home. I am going to double this recipe next time.

A really nice cake donut, easy to make, great flavor, especially for being gluten-free! I plan on making 2 changes the next time I make these: 1) Add chunky applesauce to the mix while reducing the amount of sugar & 2) Use 1/4c apple cider for the glaze instead of 3T. If you want to dip the top of the donut, there isn't enough glaze for 10 donuts. However, I placed the glaze in a squeeze bottle and pipped it on each donut to make it last. Rave reviews from friends, looking forward to making it again this fall!
