Gluten Free Apple Cider Donuts

These tender, gluten free apple cider donuts are perfect for fall. They are rich, flavorful and have the most perfect cinnamon sugar coating! Inspired by the delicious treats you often find at apple orchards, these donuts are a delightful gluten free alternative. I love making recipes that fit different food allergies and dietary restrictions so that we we can all enjoy these fun and festive foods!
