METHOD
To make the coating:
In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
To make the Donuts: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. In a medium mixing bowl, combine apple cider, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Refrigerate the batter for 3 hours or overnight, covered. When the batter has been chilled, 2 inches of oil in a deep-sided heavy skillet or deep fryer Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F, or until a small spoonful of batter sizzles in the oil. Scoop about 1 1/2 tbsp of batter into the hot oil with a cookie scoop. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Around the Donuts, the oil should sizzle. Allow each doughnut to fry for about 4 minutes, flipping once or twice, until crispy and lightly browned on all sides. To check for doneness, cut into one doughnut to ensure it is fully cooked. Adjust the frying time as needed.
If the donuts begin to lose their shape while frying, place them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. Roll in cinnamon sugar after draining on paper towels. Serve right away.
