Heat the apple cider in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 10–20 minutes, or until reduced to approximately ½ cup. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined. Whisk in the melted butter, then add the reduced apple cider, milk, and vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
Pipe or spoon the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about halfway full.
Bake for 10–11 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
For the Topping:
Combine the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl.
Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, dip each donut in the melted butter, then coat with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Serve warm.
