Apple Cider Doughnuts, that stalwart of autumn and a harbinger of the holidays, are often oily, lacking in apple flavor, and disappointingly stale. But it’s not their fault! Turns out doughnuts are better made at home so they can be eaten fresh, and as long as you follow Claire’s tips for a successful cake doughnut, you can enjoy this perfect taste of fall! Follow along.
2. The Best Apple Pie Recipe With Claire Saffitz
Aired 18 November 2021 • 25 min
I love an elaborate dessert on occasion, but after lots of trial and error, I’ve learned over time that when it comes to apple pie, simplest is always preferable. For Thanksgiving, what I want underneath a scoop of vanilla ice cream is a slice of buttery, cinnamony pie that tastes of apples and features a variety of textures. This pie, with an oat crumble topping rather than a top crust of lattice, checks all of those boxes.
