This is a great recipe to take beignets to the next level, but Fall edition. The addition of the apple cider fragrant and caramel dipping sauce calls for a maximum Fall flavor. Tasty’s tutorial on how to make these apple cider beignets is so easy to follow along with, and they make their recipes and videos simple. This can be served in the morning for a brunch spread, or just a sweet treat after a meal. This recipe makes about 36 beignets, and that’s a lot to feed a big group of friends and family.
Ingredients:
Beignets:
- 1 ½ cups apple cider
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon apple pie spice, divided, plus 2 teaspoons
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- ½ stick unsalted butter, melted
- 7 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting
- nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 4 qt canola oil
Caramel:
- 2 cups apple cider
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ½ stick unsalted butter, cubed
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Directions:
First, start off by making the apple cider beignets dough. Watch Tasty’s tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details. Make the caramel sauce while the dough takes the time to double in size.
Next, once the dough has doubled in size, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 12-inch square. Then, cut the dough into 36, 2-inch squares. Work in batches and fry the dough squares into hot oil until light golden brown.
This apple cider beignets recipe sounds so easy and a great way to turn something fried into a Fall sweet treat. I’ve honestly never had regular beignets, but why not try it for the first time with all of the great Fall flavors, right? These remind me of treats that I would get at the fair, so it’s a must-try.
