Step 1

In a small saucepan over medium heat reduce the apple cider down to ½ cup. Start checking the volume after 10 minutes, but this could take up to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the saucepan. Once reduced, pour into a shallow bowl and set aside to cool.

Step 2

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. In a small shallow bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar together with a fork and set aside.

Step 3

Pop open the can of flaky rolls and place two pieces of the dough together. Press the dough down to flatten, and use a small round cookie cutter to cut out a center hole in each roll.

Step 4

Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the raw dough to coat the donut entirely. Repeat this step for all other donuts.
