As the crisp breeze of autumn sweeps through, there’s an undeniable craving for warm and comforting treats to indulge in. What better way to embrace the fall season than by combining the rich flavors of apple cider with the classic delight of churros? Introducing the Apple Cider Churros – a delightful fusion of seasonal goodness and a beloved dessert favorite.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup of Flour
- 1 Tsp of Cinnamon
- 1/8 Tsp All Spice
- 1/8 Tsp Ground Cloves
- 1 Cup Apple Cider
- 4 Tbsp Butter
- 1 1/2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 Cup Sugar & 1 tsp Cinnamon for coating
Prepare the Dry Mixture:
In a bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, allspice, and ground cloves. Whisk together until combined. Set aside to make the dough.
Prepare the Apple Cider Mixture:
In a saucepan, combine the apple cider, butter, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Bring the mixture to a boil and then add the flour mixture. Stir vigorously to combine. The mixture will be thick like dough. Take it off the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar:
Take your Sugar and Cinnamon and whisk them together until combined. It is useful to put it in a flat pan to shake the churros around once they are ready to be coated.
Add Egg to The Churro Dough:
Once the dough is cooled enough so it won’t cook the egg when added go ahead and add the egg to the dough. Mix it until it is fully combined and glossy. It will be hard to mix but totally worth it.
Pipe and Fry the Churros:
Transfer the churro dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe 4-6 inch strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them with scissors.
(I find it easier to pipe the churros onto parchment paper and cut the squares so I can have a more uniform churro. You can throw the parchment paper into the oil and remove it once it doesn’t stick.)
Fry until golden brown, turning them for even cooking. This should take about 2-3 minutes per batch.
Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:
In a separate bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for coating. Once the churros are done frying, immediately roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Serve Warm:
Apple Cider Churros are best enjoyed warm. Serve them on a platter with a side of caramel sauce or chocolate ganache for dipping.
