3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

In a small saucepan, combine apple cider, grated apple, and brandy and cook over medium high heat until reduced to 3/4 of a cup. Allow to cool.

Heat oil in a large wok, Dutch oven, or deep fryer to 350 degrees F. Using two spoons drop batter into oil and cook until first side is browned, about 3 minutes. Turn and continue to cook until second side is browned, about 2 minutes longer. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, then transfer to a rack set in a rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining batter until all doughnuts are cooked. In a large bowl combine sugar and ground cinnamon. When ready to serve toss hot doughnuts into cinnamon sugar and serve immediately.
