Instructions:

1. In a small saucepan, bring the apple cider to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the cider has reduced to about 1/4 cup. Let it cool.
2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a doughnut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
4. In another bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and the reduced apple cider.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Spoon the batter into the greased doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the doughnuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. If desired, you can dust the doughnuts with powdered sugar or make a simple glaze by mixing powdered sugar with a little milk or apple cider.
10. Enjoy these delicious baked apple cider doughnuts with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk!

Tips:

• If you don’t have apple cider, you can substitute it with apple juice.
• You can also add a pinch of apple pie spice for extra flavor.
• For a healthier option, you can use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
• To make the glaze, start with 1 cup of powdered sugar and gradually add milk or apple cider until you reach your desired consistency.
