Air Fryer Cinnamon Sugar and Apple Cider Glazed Donuts

Everyone loves fried foods, and that crispy, flakey, oily deliciousness. Unfortunately, those flavor-packed treats are not so good for you. Eating too much fried food can have a negative impact on your health and wellness. So how do we keep our health in check while still enjoying the heavenly sweets that come from hot oil? Two words: Air Fryer. Air Fryers are a great way to conveniently enjoy those crispy, traditionally fried foods without the guilt.

This countertop appliance is easily becoming the talk of the town, and everyone’s gift registry must-have.  For this recipe, we'll be using the Philips Viva Collection Airfryer. This air fryer uses TurboStar Technology to circulate heat and evenly cook food from top to bottom, giving food that "crispy on the outside but tender on the inside" taste that everyone loves. From traditional favorites like fries and fried chicken to sweet festive desserts like churros, this air fryer can handle it all!

Today we're going to show you how we made these super simple air fryer donuts. They're perfect for a fall morning at home or as a nice treat to make and share with coworkers. We'll be making two variants: Cinnamon Sugar and Apple Cider Glazed.
