How far in Advance Can I Make Apple Cider Donut Bites?
Apple Cider donut bites can be left covered at room temperature for a few days. They will stay fresh and delicious. However, the best time to eat them is the day of making them. Storing: Store these donut bites at room temperature for up to 4 daysAre these Donut Bites completely round?
No. They are baked in a mini muffin tin, so they will be muffin shaped with a round topCan I Change these Donut Bites into Actual Donut Shapes?
Yes! Just use a donut baking pan. You won't get as many donuts because the donut shape will take a bit more batter. Spoon batter into the donut molds until they are about 2/3 full.Tips and Tricks:
- use a mini muffin tin. A mini muffin tin will provide the best shape that mostly resembles donut holes
- fill muffin tin cavities about 2/3 full
- while donut bites are still warm, and coat them in butter and cinnamon sugar
