Catherine, I have to say I don't think a major substitution would work - since honey is liquid, you'd need to eliminate some of the other liquids. But, unlike water, these other liquids all play a flavor or texture role in the doughnuts. You could substitute maybe 3 tablespoons honey for 1/4 cup of the sugar, and reduce the applesauce or boiled cider or OJ bu 3 tablespoons - if that works, you might try inching the honey up and reducing the other elements mentioned a bit more. Good luck - PJH
