doughnut time

2 cups gluten-free biscuit/baking mix
3/4 cup sugar
1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/

2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)

6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
GLAZE:
1 cup apple cider or juice
1 tablespoon butter, softened
2/3 to 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
Directions
In a large bowl, mix the first eight ingredients. In another bowl,
whisk the water, butter, applesauce and vanilla until blended. Add
to the dry ingredients; stir until blended. Cover and let rest for
10 minutes.
Cut a small hole in the corner of a food-safe plastic bag; fill with
batter. Pipe into a 6-cavity doughnut pan coated with cooking spray,
filling cavities three-fourths full.
Bake at 325° for 11-14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5
minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Repeat with
remaining batter.
For glaze, in a small saucepan, bring apple cider to a boil; cook
until liquid is reduced to 3 tablespoons. Transfer to a small bowl;
stir in butter until melted. Stir in enough confectioners' sugar to
reach glaze consistency. Dip each doughnut halfway, allowing excess
to drip off. Place on wire rack; let stand until set. Yield: 10
