Air Fryer Apple Cider Donuts

There is nothing better in the fall than a plate of Air Fryer Apple Cider Donuts. They are amazingly awesome all time of year, but once the farm stands start selling fresh apple cider, I am thinking about all things apples.

If you have never had an apple cider donut, they are amazing. They are light and flavorful. The air fryer does an amazing job of creating a perfect donut. Although not fried, it comes close to the air frying.

Like most apple cider donuts, these donuts start with a mulled cider, infused with cinnamon sticks. Then coated in cinnamon spice, which brings another layer of flavor to the donut.

I love eating these for breakfast, while I have my hot cup of coffee. This, to me, is the perfect fall breakfast or dessert.
