These mini paleo donuts are brimming with all the flavors the name suggests and you can almost taste that warm apple cider can't you!? They are an easy and fun way to spend time in the kitchen and fill your home with cozy aromas. Using apple cider in the batter lends so much more apple flavor to go along with the warm spices. The coating is optional, but it does lend not only more flavor, but also a little bit of crunchy texture.
