Directions

1. Bring apple cider to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce down to 1/2 cup (120 ml) (takes about 20-25 minutes to reduce).
2. Pour reduced cider into a large glass measuring cup. Add butter to hot cider and stir to melt. 
3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs with white and brown sugar. Add cooled cider/butter mixture, sour cream and vanilla extract.
4. In a large bowl or in a fine mesh strainer set over the wet ingredients, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. 
5. Using a wooden spoon, mix dry ingredients into the wet until just incorporated.
6. Cover and chill for one hour.
7. Heat oil to 350 degrees.
8. On a very well-floured surface, roll out the cooled dough to about 3/4-inch thickness and cut into donut shapes using cookie cutters. Chill cut donuts 10 minutes more if necessary. 
9. Fry donuts, 3-4 at a time, flipping occasionally until golden on both sides. 
10. Remove donuts to a paper towel-lined cooling rack to drain
11. Roll in cinnamon sugar while still warm and/or dip donuts in apple cider glaze
