Apple Cider Donut Holes

Apple Cider Donut Holes are one of my favorite fall recipes. They’re a mix of a baked donut and a mini muffin that melt in your mouth. They have a hint of apple cider flavor and are always a hit!

Each fall I look forward to going to apple orchards and pumpkin patches for lots of fall fun and of course, Apple Cider Donuts! I tweaked one of my favorite recipes {meltaway mini muffins} to recreate the fall favorite without the fuss. These Apple Cider Donut Holes are quick, easy, bite-sized goodness and eliminate the need for a donut pan! For the ultimate Fall experience, dip them in caramel sauce!

How to Make Apple Spice:

If you don’t have apple pie spice on hand, don’t fret. It’s easy to make your own! Just combine:

• 4 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp allspice
• 1/2 tsp ginger
