Apple Cider Doughnut

Apple cider doughnuts are a type of doughnut popular on the East Coast of the United States, particularly in New England. As the name implies, they are made with a dough containing apple cider and are often coated in cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar.

Apple cider doughnuts are a fall treat and can be found around apple orchards, at farmers' markets, in bakeries across the East Coast, and are a staple at autumn festivities. Although it is often considered they originated during Colonial times, the first recipe is from 1951, when DCA (Doughnut Company of America) introduced a new flavor to their line of doughnuts.

This seasonal delicacy soon became a favorite and has stayed as such until today. Apple cider doughnuts are often paired with hot cider or a glass of cold apple cider, but milk or coffee also go well with this delicious snack.
