      What is the Reason to Make these Donuts Using Your Air Fryer?

      It is difficult to maintain the taste and texture of donuts and a perfect shape. The oven can dry out the donuts and destroy the inner softness. Therefore using an air fryer is the most appropriate way of cooking them. It will prevent them from getting dried internally and help you get the outer crust crispy if you want it to be.

      How to Make Dough For these Appetizing Donuts?

      First, you have to simmer your apple cider vinegar and reduce it to ¼th proportion. Then beat the butter, sugar, eggs, and cinnamon powder together. After that, take the flour mixture and add these two things to it. Mix it well and then knead it using your hand to make a perfect dough out of it. Rolling it on a floured surface will help you knead it properly. After that, you have to let it sit for a few minutes so that baking powder can show its magic. Keep the bowl at a warm corner, and don’t forget to keep it covered.

      • Add the flour mixture and mix until well combined.
      • Add the grated apple and mix until a dough forms.
      • Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and with your hands, knead until a soft dough comes together.
      • With plastic wrap, cover the dough and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
      • Now, place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into 1-inch thickness.
      • With a 3-inches donut cutter, cut the donuts.
      • Grease the Air Fryer Basket with cooking spray and then slide inside.  
      • Adjust the temperature of Air Fryer to 360 °F to preheat for 2 minutes.
