2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 cups whole milk
1 cup farm-fresh cider
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
1 large Gala or any soft ( such as Cortland, Macs, Ida Reds, ,Jonagolds, Crispins apple, cored, peeled and chopped

Put the day-old donut pieces into a large mixing bowl.
No need to add extra sugar if cider donuts are already sugared.
** Your cider will not curdle the milk, honest, when I first used this recipe I thought for sure I would have soured milk.
In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, butter, milk, cider, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour this custard over the broken donut pieces, and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes.
Peel, core and chop the apple and add it to the mixture along with craisins.
Pour the mixture into the baking pan and bake for one hour, or until it has totally set. Serve warm or room temperature, with a touch of whipped cream or ice cream OR try my warm cider nutmeg sauce.
