I thought I had done something drastically wrong, but see by other comments I hadn't. This is the first Food Network recipe I have been disappointed in. Not worth my time, effort or money wasted when I had to throw out two-thirds of the "dough". I did have a donut cutter. The ones I was able to get off the parchment paper and out of the cutter soaked up too much oil. Oh well, on to the next recipe.

I made these last night as doughnut holes. I lost count of how many it made, but I know it was at least 4 dozen. The dough was very wet, I used waxed paper instead of parchment, and about an 1/8 of a cup of flour underneath and on top. I also didn't follow the directions perfectly, using apple juice (what I had and adding all the cinnamon to the dough. I was worried it would be too much, but no one noticed a problem. The sauce took about 45 minutes to reduce for me. The glaze was delicious and added a nice apple sweetness, and the cinnamon sugar mix made WAY more than we needed for all the doughnut holes, if I make them again I will make half that amount. It felt like a waste to throw away the cinnamon and sugar but it had bits of glaze and doughnut throughout so it couldn't be saved.

Reduction of Apple Cider took much longer then stated, but well worth the wait. The dough was extremely stickey but I was determined to make it work, they were so worth the effort! First time doughnut maker, and I will make this recipe again.

We were searching for an apple cider donut to match the mouth watering one's baked at our local orchard. Followed recipe exactly as stated (except for glaze. I did make the dough last night. Very sticky dough....I found it difficult to work with. As others have stated, it does take much longer for the cider & apples to reduce. These were tasty....great job for my first time effort with a cake donut!!! Fried up every single scrap of dough! Decided to pass on the glaze. Rolled them in cinnamon & sugar. Where was the apple flavor? It was missing in mine. Had I not made them myself, I wouldn't have know it was an apple cider donut. The applesauce made from this recipe was delicious!! Would make that again and use as a topping for pork! Will try this again, make the glaze, to see if that gives me the flavor I'm looking for.

Since trying donuts for the first time, we were somewhat nervous about the deep frying aspect, but got over that real fast. We did find the cider and apples took closer to 20-30 minutes to fully reduce as opposed to the 8-10 minutes mentioned in the recipe. The dough was a bit sticky, but our philosophy was: no 2 donuts look alike, so we carefully dropped the sticky donuts into the oil and they cooked beautifully. Of course the oil temp. kept fluctuating (thank goodness for the candy thermometer. End result - great apple flavor, delicate donuts. My 7 year old says "awesome". We will make them again (after losing the weight gained today....

When I got my magazine this recipe made me jump for joy, I love apple cider donuts. I was quickly let down though.I floured my parchment paper well because I could tell the dough way very sticky and I still could not cut the donuts. I even stuck the dough in the freezer for an hour hoping it would come lose and it still didnt. I finally ended up just scraping little pieces off and frying them. They looked ugly but the flavor was amazing. I will not try these again as I was very frustrated with the trouble but I did use the apple cider glaze on my mom's apple cake recipe and it was too die for.

These are absolutely delicious, as long as you eat them right away. (The next day, they aren't so great. I had a little trouble with my dough sticking, so I didn't end up with perfectly shaped doughnuts, but they were incredibly tasty. You'll want to fry up every last scrap!

I had never made doughnuts before and I had a hard time with the too moist dough. I just made doughnut holes! I shared with two of my children and my parents! It made lots. I would make them again except for the fact that I am trying to maintain my new lower goal weight. These would definitely threaten that!!

These were decent doughnuts, but my family didn't care for the cider glaze. They would have been just as good with just the sugar and cinnamon coating. Reducing the cider and apply mixture took a lot longer than the recipe indicates. I felt there were just too many steps in this recipe and the end result didn't justify the effort. I probably won't make this recipe again.
