- Add the apple cider to a pot and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes, until the apple cider has reduced by half.
- Add the apple cider to a bowl along with the apple sauce, coconut oil, and coconut sugar. Stir to combine.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and add to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Fold the batter until a dough forms.
- Add the dough to a piping bag and pipe it into the mini donut pan, pressing any of the uneven batter down with your fingers.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until fully baked through. Allow to cool slightly before carefully flipping onto a cooling rack.
