Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a non stick doughnut pan with pan spray.
In a medium sized bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, Apple Pie Spice, and salt. Stir dry ingredients with a fork to make sure all dry ingredients are combined and that there are no lumps.
In a separate bowl whisk together apple butter, apple cider, canola oil, and Pure Vanilla Extract. Add the wet ingredients to dry and stir until everything is combined. I did not need to use a mixer, everything came together nicely with a wooden spoon.
Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, When done the doughnuts will spring back when gently pressed with your finger.
Remove from oven and let cool in pan for a few minutes then transfer them to a cooling rack until ready to serve.
