Can I use apple juice instead of cider?

You can, but honestly? The flavor won't be nearly as deep and cozy. Apple cider has that rich, unfiltered apple goodness that juice can't match. If you must substitute, try reducing the juice by half on the stove first to concentrate the flavor.

Why do my donuts stick to the pan?

Oh honey, I've been there. Either your pan wasn't greased well enough (get into every crevice), or you tried removing them too soon. Let them cool for 5 minutes - they'll practically jump out when they're ready.

Can I make these without a donut pan?

Absolutely, Pour the batter into a greased muffin tin and bake for 12-15 minutes instead. They'll taste just as delicious - we'll just call them "apple cider muffin tops" and call it a day.

How do I know when they're done baking?

Look for golden edges and tops that spring back when lightly pressed. The toothpick test works too - a few moist crumbs are perfect, but wet batter means they need more time.

Can I freeze the batter?

I wouldn't recommend it - the leavening agents lose their oomph. But baked donuts freeze beautifully. Just wrap them tight and they'll taste fresh-baked when thawed.
