Recipe from: Daisy, Copy Editor & Donut Enthusiast
Every year on Christmas morning we spike our coffee, settle into our respective couch/chair/floor positions, and dig into heaps of homemade Apple Cider Donuts. It's a tradition that goes back to my Pennsylvania roots – where my grandmother proudly made her OWN apple cider in the fall and these donuts were her way of reminding us of the feat well into winter. We've since relocated to Southern California and substituted grandma's homemade apple cider for the local farmer's, but the tradition – and sugar rush – are still going strong.
