Cider doughnut

Cider doughnuts or apple cider doughnuts are American cake doughnuts that get their flavor from cinnamon, nutmeg and apple cider used in the batter. They are a harvest tradition in autumn in the northeastern United States and are sometimes sold at cider mills. They are often paired with apple cider, and may be covered with cinnamon or granulated sugar. Cider doughnut season coincides with the harvest season for apples, beginning in September and lasting through November or December. According to Food & Wine, "year-round" cider doughnuts are likely to suffer from a lack of fresh-pressed cider and are best bought fresh, before they dry out. The doughnuts are sold in grocery stores as early as August and have also been offered as a seasonal item at Dunkin' Donuts. They are a common accompaniment to leaf peeping and apple picking trips.
