Gluten-Free Apple Cider Doughnuts

• 2 cups gluten-free biscuit/baking mix
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup warm water (110u0b0 to 115u0b0)
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, room temperature
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup apple cider or juice
• 1 tablespoon butter, softened
• 2/3 to 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

1. In a large bowl, mix the first eight ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the water, butter, applesauce and vanilla until blended. Add to the dry ingredients; stir until blended. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
2. Cut a small hole in the corner of a food-safe plastic bag; fill with batter. Pipe into a 6-cavity doughnut pan coated with cooking spray, filling cavities three-fourths full.
3. Bake at 325u0b0 for 11-14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter.
4. For glaze, in a small saucepan, bring apple cider to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to 3 tablespoons. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in butter until melted. Stir in enough confectioners' sugar to reach glaze consistency. Dip each doughnut halfway, allowing excess to drip off. Place on wire rack; let stand until set.
