Make the Baked Apple Cider Donuts
Pour cider into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced to ½ cup. Cool.
Set aside ¼ cup chopped Figs for Topping. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 2 standard donuts pans (6 doughnuts each) with nonstick spray.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl. Whisk to blend. Set aside.
In bowl of electric mixer, combine ¼ cup reduced cider, applesauce, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, oil and vanilla. Beat on medium-low speed 1 minute or until sugar dissolves. On low speed, gradually beat in flour mixture. Do not over mix. With spoon or spatula, stir in ¾ cup Figs. Spoon batter into each donut pan cavity, dividing evenly.
Bake donuts for 12 minutes or until pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool donuts in pan on wire rack for 5 minutes. Invert onto wire rack to cool completely (Run a thin knife around edges of molds if needed to release donuts).
