These donuts are ready to eat straight from the package. They are perfect for enjoying with a cup of coffee, tea, or milk. For a slightly warmer experience, you can gently warm them in a low oven for a few minutes. They also pair well with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream for a more elaborate dessert.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike yeast-raised donuts, these are cake donuts, meaning they have a denser, more cake-like texture. The prominent apple cider flavor sets them apart from plain cake donuts, offering a distinct fruity and slightly tart note.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating them, as this can alter their texture and make them dry. They are best consumed within a few days of opening.
