Apple Cider Doughnut
Sugar, Spice, and everything nice…
These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little cider doughnut …
Profile:
Flavor Notes: Cooked apple, warm spice, molasses
Crumb: A crunchy, sugary shell, with a buttery soft interior
Coffee Pairing:
OTHERS COFFEE Washed Burundian Light Roast
Why this pastry:
Every year I make the drive out to the Shenandoah Mountains, the main reason to stop at the Apple House and eat what I consider to be the first bite of fall: the apple cider doughnut. It’s the only cake doughnut I’ll ever eat, make, or long for.
And man, was it a trip trying to get these right. But after many test batches, I can say with confidence that these doughnuts do what every good pastry should—they wake up your taste buds and hit you with a wave of enhanced nostalgia.

CAROLINA GROUND Shirley Soft Red Winter Wheat

About the grain:
