Destined to become a new tradition, these doughnuts will be gobbled up in no time when enjoyed for breakfast or as a special snack after a trip to the apple orchard or any family outing! These indulgent pastries are so easy to make, you’ll get requests to make them often!

Fry these sweet, spicy gems in a deep fryer, if you have one (it keeps the temperature fluctuating to produce doughnuts that are consistently golden brown on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside). Or use a large saucepan, if you don’t have a deep fryer. You can cool and store the oil for additional batches. Strain the cooled oil though cheesecloth and store it in a sealed container for up to 3 months This is about to become one of your favorite new recipes!
