Method

Simmer the cider in a small pot until it's down to about 2/3 cup, 15–20 minutes. Let it cool.
Heat the oven to 350°F and grease a donut pan.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and salt in a bowl.
In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, eggs, milk and the reduced cider. Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined.
Fill the donut cups about 3/4 full. Bake 12–14 minutes, until the tops spring back.
Mix 1/2 cup sugar with 1 tsp cinnamon. Brush each warm donut with melted butter and roll it in the cinnamon sugar.
