We just made these for a lunch with a friend. They are delicious, but definitely not one I would call easy. The dough is very, very sticky, and I ended up with about a cup and a half of the apple and cider puree. Still, delicious!

I made these, and yes, like everyone else said, the dough was sticky. I added in a bit more flour, and while still sticky, I had no problems with the dough falling apart while frying. These were delicious, and are worth the effort!

As everyone else has stated, it is a very sticky dough. None of my donuts stayed together. Insteas we just fried the dough in pieces. Very delicious and great flavors, but way to sticky.

I have been waiting to try this recipe for weeks now and finally got around to it this weekend. We made the dough the night before and cut/fried them up this morning. The dough wasn't hard to make but (as many have said before was very sticky. Though I only got a few "donuts" from the dough (the rest fell apart, I got lots of donut holes. Everything turned out yummy, but it was a pain to get the oil at the right temperature. Also, the apple cider flavor in the dough was barely noticeable. I won't bother with doing that whole process next time. A couple tips: keep the dough refrigerated until you are about to drop it in the oil and don't worry about getting the oil temperature just right--it drops a lot when multiple donuts are added. I enjoyed mine without the glaze, but my boyfriend thought the glaze was the best part!! Still, I think next time I will just go to Krispy Kreme.

I was so excited to make these donuts. It was my first attempt at making donuts. It came out awful. The first time the dough was just a sticky mess and yes. as all the others said- it took more like 30-40 minutes for the apples and cider to reduce. I tried it a second time thinking maybe I had done something wrong. The second time the dough was a little better - was able to shape and put in fridge over night. When I took out the next day - it looked good and solid - but as I started to cut out the donuts and try to lift them - the dough became sticky and fell apart. Cooked a few pieces and they were good - but it was a mess and too much hassle. Ended up throwing away the second batch too. I was very disappointed. I have never had a receipe just fall apart like that. But still love the Food Network and their Magazine. I will keep trying new recipes - as challenge is the Spice of LIfe.

I have made donuts before, I have been looking for an apple cider doughnut recipe i thought i would try this one. I chilled my dough for over 3 hours the dough was still extremely sticky. I added more flour to make the dough managable and then i rolled out the dough on a floured board. This worked. The donuts were good. Next time I make these i would do the same thing.

I cooked half of the recipe first night, ran out of oil. That was letting the sit for an hour and a half in the fridge. The second day they came out way better. Full 24 hours of resting in fridge. They cooked all the way thru on second day, also they were much lighter and the apple taste was more pronounced.

We loved these but the dough was far too sticky. I kneaded in approx 1 c of flour more even after it was chilled. I would not rate this as an easy recipe but it was well worth the effort. I made these when we were camping & did not have my doughnut cutter so I cut off pieces, rolled them & hand formed the doughnuts. (you can't use a biscuit cutter as they would not cook in the middle, as I found out with some of the larger round doughnut holes I cooked. I thought the glazed really added to the taste , tried some in just cinnamon & sugar the the glaze first was much better.

These donuts were so good, my 14 year old ate 3 in one sitting! They were easy to make and well worth the effort!

I made these yesterday and they were a huge hit. Yes, the apples/cider did take much longer to reduce, but they smelled so good that it didn't matter! I didn't find the dough difficult to work with at all. I did half with the glaze/sugar, and half with just cinnamon/sugar. I actually ended up with 16 donuts in the end. Yum! Will definitely make these again.
