APPLE CIDER DONUTS ✨ Been waiting for this season bc of these 🍁🍂✨ Ingredients: • 1 box spice cake mix (15.25 oz) • 1/2 cup apple sauce • Reduce 2 cups apple cider on the stove until about 1 cup remains Instructions: 1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan. 2️⃣ Mix the cake mix with applesauce & the reduced cider until smooth. 3️⃣ Spoon or pipe batter into pan about ⅔ full. 4️⃣ Bake 15-18 minutes, until donuts spring back when touched. (Left mine for about 17 mins) OPTIONAL: 5️⃣ While still warm, brush donuts with melted butter or apple cider, then roll in cinnamon sugar for that classic cider donut finish. Soft, cozy, and the perfect taste of fall 🍂🍁 #spookyseason #fallaesthetic #halloweendecor #halloween #fallinspo #fallrecipes #easydessert #pumpkinseason #pumpkinspiceeverything #momhack

Spoken transcript

I wish it were always autumn. That's what I always say, anyway. So the leaves could always be colorful, and the air always crisp, and the day is always the perfect length. And I could always be the perfect amount of sad. And the sky would be just gray enough to not make me feel guilty about it. And I could let the cold air on my face make me miss people I shouldn't be thinking about.
