Baked Apple Cider Donuts (Vegan)

You haven’t fulfilled your fall festivities without savoring an apple cider doughnut. Super fluffy, soft, moist and completely dairy-free, these vegan (and baked, not fried) doughnuts truly are great for all to partake. The doughnut base is filled with fall spices, including cinnamon and nutmeg, and the finished confection is covered with a light yet satisfying cinnamon-brown sugar coating. Invest in a doughnut baking pan with 6 wells, and I guarantee it’ll get use year after year.
