I'm not big on donuts. But, I'm big on apple cider. Thanks for pointing me to that fall favorite. Now I'm gonna be thinking about it until I come up with something nice to do with it. Hummm. Maybe marinate something. Maybe make a sauce with it. Maybe sweeten an apple dessert with it . . . .
Perfectly timed. We went to the orchard yesterday and I love donuts! I like to read Sally’s Baking Addiction too! Always something fun there!
The “hideous hard plastic containers” (I don’t like them either) might be a requirement of the health department that oversees the market. We had many things imposed by the local health department on our products when we sold our produce, mushrooms and herbs at the Farmer’s Market.
I hadn't even thought of a health department requirement. I realize that they protect the produce, but it just seems so detrimental to the environment. Thanks Collette.
I just love how you marry food and art, Vicki. It’s always a delight! I am a huge fan of apple cider donuts (and just donuts in general...my husband and I look for them in every city we visit), and somehow your pastel makes them look even more inviting than the real thing.
I’ve been a big fan of Wayne Thiebaud ever since seeing an exhibit of his work in Palm Springs years ago. I love that you reference him and shared such an interesting article about this artist, plus your beautiful pastel. I’m usually not a big donut lover, but I’m intrigued with the idea of making them in muffin form with these great fall flavors. I wish I had grown up picking apples, but maybe tasting these will evoke the experience!🍎💕
Thank you Ruth! I haven't spent too much time in California, but Thiebaud's use of light and color seem to feel like the state. I thought they worked very well in the muffin tins, but my husband misses the holes and it wouldn't surprise me if he picked up a special tin!
I do think you’re right about Thiebaud’s pictures having a California sensibility in terms of light and color. I like holes too, but I’m not sure I want to spring for a donut pan!
You wrote about two of my favorites: Wayne Thiebaud and cider donuts! I didn’t know that Thiebaud was painting these desserts from memory-- very interesting. I also liked de Kooning’s advice about painting something you love and don’t expect anything. Great post!

Thanks so much Sam! I like the idea of seeking out donuts when you visit new places.
They tasted great! Were perfect with my "Morning Joe".

Thank you Amy!
I was just wondering what to do with the cider I had left over from another recipe! Will report back after I test this out.
Oh good! I hope you like them Amie.
The donuts look amazing. Thank you for the introduction to Thiebaud.
Thanks Bernadette!
