Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare a donut pan with nonstick spray
Melt butter and allow to cool slightly
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a medium bowl, beat egg with a whisk. Then add milk, melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and whisk until fully combined and smooth. Next add reduced apple cider whisk again.
Combine the wet cider mixture into the dry mixture and whisk all ingredients until fully combined.

How to reduce your apple cider:
Pour 1½ cups apple cider into a saucepan and place on low heat.
Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Continue stirring until the liquid is at ½ cup of cider reduction. This will take a total of approximately 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow to cool before adding to the batter.
