Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with baking spray.

  2. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and kosher salt together in a bowl.

  3. Whisk applesauce, apple cider, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Stir into flour mixture gradually until ingredients are combined.

  4. Spoon batter into the prepared pan, filling each cup 3/4 full.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean, about 17 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before removing donuts from the pan.

  6. Combine sugar and cinnamon for topping in a shallow dish. Brush donuts with melted butter on both sides and dip into sugar-cinnamon combination.
