Apple Cider Donut Muffins

 

I first made these in 2013,  but they continue to be a hit!

mix together the wet ingredients:

1 cup apple cider
1 large egg
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

In another bowl, whisk together:
2 cups King Arthur gluten free 1:1 flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt 

1/2 tsp cinnamon

4tsp. apple pie spice

1/4 c. crushed hazel nuts (or other nuts)

Gently mix both ingredient bowls together-by hand

and very lightly-just until combined.

Place in muffin pan with liners. Makes 12

bake at 350 degrees for about 15 min.

Melt about 1.2 c. butter in a bowl 

& about 1/2 c. of sugar-adjust to your own taste

(you can also add cinnamon or other spices to sugar)

When muffins are out of the oven and still hot, dip

tops in melted butter and then in the sugar.

So yummy!
