Apple Cider Glazed Doughnuts With Bacon And Toasted Walnuts Recipes

SUNNY'S IT'S APPLE THYME! GLAZED BACON

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the jelly, thyme, cinnamon sugar, liquid smoke, apples, a tiny pinch of salt and several grinds of coarse black pepper. Set aside.
• Line a baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil and lay the bacon strips on top. Set the oven to 400 degrees F and place the bacon in the oven as it preheats. Bake until most of the fat is rendered, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and use paper towels to blot as much excess fat as possible.
• Place a wire rack on the baking sheet and lay the bacon back on top. Brush or scoop the glaze over the bacon. Bake until the apple bits are golden and the bacon is crisp, an additional 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

APPLE CIDER DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Mix 1 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon together in a resealable freezer bag.
• Bring apple cider to a boil in a saucepan; cook, stirring occasionally, until cider has reduced to 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
• Whisk 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Mix butter, eggs, egg yolk, and cooled cider together in a separate bowl until smooth; stir into flour mixture. Stir remaining 2 3/4 cup flour into mixture until dough is smooth. Refrigerate dough for 10 minutes.
• Heat oil in a large pot or deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Turn dough onto a well-floured work surface using floured hands; pat dough into 1/2-inch thickness. Cut dough into doughnuts using a doughnut cutter or 2 round cookie cutters (1 large and 1 small). Gather scraps and re-pat dough to cut out as many doughnuts as possible.
• Carefully slide doughnuts, working in batches, into hot oil; fry until doughnuts rise to the surface and begin to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip doughnuts and continue frying until opposite side is browned, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Remove doughnuts with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to cool until easily handled, about 1 minute. Toss cooled doughnuts in the reserved bag of cinnamon-sugar. Bring oil back to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) before frying next batch.

APPLE CIDER GLAZED DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, sugar, salt and cinnamon in a large mixer bowl. Heat milk and butter to very warm (120 degrees to 130 degrees F). Add to flour mixture with egg yolks; beat for 2 minutes at low speed. Continue adding remaining flour, until soft dough forms.
• Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic (about 4 to 6 minutes). Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll out dough on a lightly floured counter into a 12-inch circle, about 1/2-inch thick. Using a 3-inch cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible. Cut out center with a 1-inch cookie cutter or poke hole through the center with finger. Place doughnuts about 2 to 3 inches apart on lightly greased or parchment lined baking sheet. Re-roll and cut remaining dough. Cover doughnuts and let rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Heat at least 2 inches of oil in a deep fryer or deep pan to 350 degrees F. Fry 2 to 3 doughnuts at a time, turning occasionally until well browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Cool a few minutes, then transfer to wire rack. Drizzle with Apple Cider Glaze OR using tongs, dunk the doughnuts in the glaze. Serve warm.
• For Apple Cider Glaze: Boil apple cider in a small saucepan until reduced in half, about 7 to 10 minutes.
• Place powdered sugar in medium bowl. Whisk in hot cider and corn syrup until smooth.

GLAZED APPLE CIDER DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and cider. Stir in the melted butter.
• Make a well in the flour mixture and stir in the wet ingredients.
• Turn the soft dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1/2-inch-high-round.
• Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium heat.
• Use a doughnut cutter to make the donoughts.
• Use a spatula to carefully lower a doughnut into the hot oil. You can cook several at once, just don't crowd them.
• Once the doughnuts rise to the surface and begin to brown, flip them with the spatula.
• Remove after 2 to 3 minutes, or when the doughnuts are golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels.
• To make the glaze, stir together the confectioners' sugar and the cider (or milk) and spoon the mixture over the doughnuts.

APPLE CIDER DOUGHNUTS WITH MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• To make Doughnuts: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Coat molds of a mini-Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray or oil.
• Sprinkle with sugar, shaking out excess.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside.
• In another bowl, whisk together egg, brown sugar, apple butter, maple syrup, cider, yogurt and oil.
• Add dry ingredients and stir just until moistened.
• Divide half the batter among the prepared molds, spooning about 2 generous tablespoonfuls of batter into each mold.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops spring back when touched lightly.
• Loosen edges and turn the cakes out onto a rack to cool.
• Clean the mini-Bundt pan, then re-coat it with oil and sugar.
• Repeat with the remaining batter.
• To make maple glaze: In a bowl, combine confectioners sugar and vanilla.
• Gradually whisk in enough maple syrup to make a coating consistency.
• Dip the shaped side (underside) of the "doughnuts" in the glaze to coat. Then set them, glazed-side up on a rack over wax paper for a few minutes until the glaze has set.

APPLE CIDER GLAZED DOUGHNUTS WITH BACON AND TOASTED WALNUTS

Steps:

• For the topping: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place the walnuts on a baking sheet in a single layer and toast until golden brown and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool slightly and chop. Put in a shallow dish with the bacon and mix together. Set aside.
• For the apple cider glaze: In a small saucepot, add the apple cider, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon and a squeeze of lemon juice. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until syrupy and reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
• Put the confectioners' sugar in a bowl and slowly pour in 1/4 cup of the glaze, a little at a time. Whisk together until smooth.
• To top the doughnuts: Gently dip the top of each plain doughnut into the glaze and let any excess drip back into the bowl. Next, lightly dip the glazed tops into the chopped walnuts and bacon. Place on a wire rack to let set.
• Bring the milk to a simmer in a 1-quart heavy saucepan, then remove from the heat and stir in the sugar and salt. Pour into a large bowl and let cool slightly.
• While the milk is cooling, dissolve the yeast in 2 tablespoons warm water in a small bowl, stirring. Let stand for 5 minutes.
• Stir the yeast mixture into the milk mixture along with the oil, lemon zest and eggs. Stir in 2 1/2 cups of the flour with a wooden spoon to make a very soft dough. Spread 1 cup of the flour on a work surface and put the dough on top, scraping it from the bowl with a rubber spatula. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, incorporating all of the flour from the work surface and adding just enough additional flour (if necessary); the dough should be slightly sticky. Transfer the dough to an oiled large bowl and sprinkle lightly with additional flour. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm draft-free place until doubled in bulk, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll out with a floured rolling pin until 1 inch thick. Cut out rounds with a 2-inch cutter. To make ring shapes, cut out doughnut holes with a 1-inch cutter. Place on a baking sheet, cover the doughnuts with another kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
• While the doughnuts rise, heat about 10 cups vegetable oil in a deep 4-quart pot until it registers 365 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Fry the doughnuts 2 at a time, turning once or twice, until puffed and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
