How to make this recipe
1 – Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

3 – In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt, applesauce, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla and apple cider.
4 – Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dry ingredients are totally combined.
5 – Add donut mixture to a large piping bag, and pipe mixture into donut baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes.

How do I store my homemade apple cider donuts?
Homemade donuts are best served fresh, or within one day for best results. Cover donuts and leave at room temperature for 2 days at most.
