Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 16.3 ounce can flaky biscuits
- 1 cup apple cider
Instructions
- Prepare a tray with parchment paper or set up a wire rack for the finished donuts.
- In a shallow bowl, mix the granulated sugar with ground cinnamon and reserve it as your topping.
- Pour the apple cider into a small saucepan and simmer over medium-high heat until it reduces slightly, enhancing the flavor. Set it aside after cooking.
- Open the biscuit dough and separate the individual biscuits. Use a round cap to cut out the centers for the donut shape.
- Either line the air fryer basket with parchment or spray it lightly with oil.
- Cook in batches, placing four donuts at a time in the air fryer to ensure they don’t touch. This allows them to puff and brown evenly.
- Air fry the donuts at 350°F for 3 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Remove the hot donuts and place them on the wire rack or tray, then repeat with the remaining dough.
- While the donuts are still warm, brush them with the reduced apple cider, then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Serve immediately and savor the warm, flavorful donuts.
Notes
Feel free to experiment with spices for a personalized flavor.
Ensure donuts are not overcrowded in the air fryer for even cooking.
These donuts are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two.
