- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions
- Reduce the Cider: In a saucepan, heat apple cider over medium heat until reduced by half. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

- Form the Dough: Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
- Fry the Doughnut Holes: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 375°F (190°C). Drop spoonfuls of dough into hot oil, frying until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
