Spiced Apple Cider Mini Doughnut Muffins

Cider doughnuts are a beloved autumn treat on the East Coast, and these easy-to-prepare muffins re-create those spicy flavors any time of the year, wherever you live. To amp up the cider taste, cook down apple cider into a syrup (see Note). The icing on the cake? Dipping the warm muffins into a sugar-and-spice mixture that adds both flavor and texture.
