Fill silicone donut molds with 2 tablespoons batter each. Place mold in air fryer basket.

Decrease air fryer temperature to 350°F (175°C) and cook for 8 minutes. Turn out donut bites carefully and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Cool donut bites completely on a wire rack for about 30 minutes before glazing.

Make glaze by combining powdered sugar, apple pie spice, sparkling apple cider, and caramel extract (optional). Stir until smooth.
