Add the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix. Set aside.
In another mixing bowl, add the applesauce, apple cider vinegar, vegan butter, and plant-based yogurt. Mix with a hand mixer.
Slowly fold in the wet ingredients to the flour mixture. Do not overmix.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease your donut baking pan.
Fill each ring with the donut batter. Do not go over the edges.
Bake the apple cider donuts for 15 minutes.
Allow the donuts to cool for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
Place the baked apple cider donuts upside down in the cinnamon mixture. Serve and enjoy!

If you don't have apple pie spice, just combine 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of allspice or cardamom.
You can make these baked apple cider donuts gluten-free! Swap the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour.
Do not overmix the batter, or the donuts will be tough.
You can make the batter up to 24 hours ahead.
Another way to fill the donut pan is with a piping bag. This method is quicker and less messy than pouring the batter into the donut pan.
