Rick Makes Apple Cider Doughnuts | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit

Join Rick Martinez in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes apple cider doughnuts. These sugared doughnuts are craggy and crunchy on the outside, tender and moist on the inside. Apple butter (not sauce!) is key to their texture and flavor; look for it alongside jams and jellies in the supermarket, or at farmers’ markets, or make your own.

[@lukedodson3267]

Okay, for everybody confused about the cider issue. In the US and parts of Canada we refer to unsweetened, unfiltered apple juice as "cider" and the fermented product as "hard cider" and the reason why is Prohibition. Cider was big business for apple farmers for most of American history, and when the sale and production of alcohol was prohibited between 1920 and 1933, apple farmers started selling more unfermented juice as "soft" or "sweet" cider, which was a big hit and eventually just became the normal version of "cider".

[@electromagneticinterferenc4802]

thank you, kind sir!

[@janani1826]

Wow thank you!

[@nixand_brennt]

I am American and have been confused about this for years. This makes so much sense!

[@recoil53]

I've seen filtered apple juice labelled as 'cider', which it clearly is not. So you can't go by name. Until the prohibition Americans drank more hard cider than beer. Because of Prohibition the trees for the types of apple that make good hard cider were chopped down. Easier to grow a new crop of barley than wait for a tree to grow.
