Instructions

  1. Bring cider to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced to about 2 cups, 15 –20 minutes. Stir in butter and brown sugar continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, about 8 minutes more. Remove from heat; glaze will thicken as it sits.

Why this Apple Cider Doughnuts with Cider-Caramel Glaze works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Apple Cider Doughnuts with Cider-Caramel Glaze works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
