Apple Cider Donuts

Virtual Cooking Class Presented by Laura Scheck

The humble jug of Apple Cider is the star of this class. We will recreate farm stand classic Apple Cider Donuts at home. You will also learn tips for simmering another fall classic: Hot Mulled Cider.

The link for this program will be emailed to those who register.

Registration is required. 

Due to the limited number of available spots, please cancel your reservation if you are no longer able to attend. 

Our donuts are baked, not fried, so you can eat twice as much. Both donuts and cider are perfect for curling up with a good book on a chilly afternoon or sharing with friends at a fall picnic or holiday gathering.

You will make:

• Cinnamon Sugar Dusted Baked Apple Cider Donuts
• Hot Mulled Cider

Although it is virtual, this class is hands on and paced for you to follow along. There is some prep required for this class (see below). The recipes will be emailed to those who register one week ahead of time.
