For apple cider donuts, combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, and sprinkle mixture over donuts. For salted caramel, drizzle each donut with caramel, and then top with a tasty sprinkling of sea salt. For s'mores donuts, top each one with a roasted marshmallow, chocolate drizzle and graham cracker crumbs.
