• Start by reducing the apple cider in a saucepan over high heat. Add the cinnamon stick and boil until it reduces to 1/3 cup. This should take at least 20 minutes.
• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a donut pan by spraying 12 donut molds with non-stick spray.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground ginger, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp fine sea salt. Mix until combined.
• Pour in the wet ingredients: 1/4 melted butter, 1 egg, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup milk. Mix until a batter forms.
• Fill a piping bag with the batter and snip the tip off with scissors. Pipe each donut mold 3/4th full with the batter.
• Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.

Topping

• In a bowl combine 1 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. Mix to combine.
• While the donuts are still warm, dip them in the bowl of cinnamon sugar and gently swirl the donut around covering as much of the donut as possible. Once coated, set back on the cooling rack to set for a minute or two before serving.
