APPLE CIDER DOUGHNUTS WITH MAPLE GLAZE
In the Vermont countryside, there are two sure signs of spring: frost heaves in the road and smoke rising from the chimneys of the sugarhouses. This recipe was inspired by treats you find while touring this corner of America: cider doughnuts and maple syrup. A mini-Bundt pan produces adorable doughnut-shaped cakes, but if you do not have one, you can use a regular Bundt pan and make a coffee cake; bake it in a 375-degree F oven fo r 25 to 30 minutes.

Apple donuts remind me of family trips to South Dakota. We'd stop at Wall Drug for a dozen or so before camping in the Badlands. Maple glaze was and still is my favorite. Share a batch with friends and family who appreciate a hot, fresh apple cider donut. -Melissa Hansen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Tips:
- Use fresh apple cider for the best flavor. If you don't have apple cider, you can substitute apple juice, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
- Be sure to chill the dough before rolling and cutting it. This will help the doughnuts hold their shape better.
- If you don't have a doughnut cutter, you can use a biscuit cutter or even a glass to cut the doughnuts out of the dough.
- Fry the doughnuts in hot oil until they are golden brown on both sides. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the doughnuts will not cook evenly.
- Drain the doughnuts on paper towels before glazing them. This will help to remove any excess oil.
- The maple glaze is optional, but it adds a delicious sweetness and richness to the doughnuts.
