Apple Cider Fritters (Donuts)
Apple Cider Fritters (Donuts)
Apple cider fritters are soft pillowy balls of sweet dough that are deep fried with the flavors of fall. I'm a huge apple cider fan and those flavors in general. What makes this recipe "just right" are the spices that are used in the dough and the sweet (but balanced) glaze on the outside. Good luck only eating one!
