Instructions

In a large saucepan, heat the apple cider over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
Stir occasionally until it reduces to 1/2 cup, about 10-15 minutes.
Allow the reduced cider to cool completely before using.

Notes

For a more intense apple flavor, you can substitute some of the milk with more apple cider.
These donuts can be glazed with a simple icing made from powdered sugar and apple cider for extra sweetness.
Ensure the butter is fully melted before mixing into the batter.
