Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

½ cup 2% milk
½ cup apple cider
½ cup unsalted butter, cubed
1 tablespoon Stevia In The Raw®
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 eggs
1 granny smith apple, cored and finely diced
½ cup Sugar In The Raw®
¼ cup Stevia In The Raw®
¼ cup water
⅓ cup apple cider
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon salt
4 cups vegetable oil for frying
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring milk, 1/2 cup cider, butter, 1 tablespoon Stevia In The Raw, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil.
  • Immediately add flour and cinnamon and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon on the heat until mixture comes together. Continue stirring until dough is smooth and pulls away from sides of pan.
  • Transfer dough to bowl or stand mixer and cool 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add eggs one at a time, stirring to completely incorporate each egg before adding the next. Dough should be smooth and shiny. Stir in apples. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, combine Sugar In The Raw®, 1/4 cup Stevia In The Raw, and 1/4 cup water. Cook, stirring, over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and cook syrup until deep amber colored, swirling pan as needed to prevent burning.
  • Remove from heat and slowly add 1/3 cup cider. Stir until smooth. If caramel seems runny, simmer to reduce until thickened and syrupy. Stir in vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  • In a large heavy pot or deep skillet, heat oil to 365 degrees F.
  • Drop tablespoons of dough into oil in batches of 8 and cook until golden all over.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • Repeat with remaining dough.
  • To serve, drizzle beignets with caramel sauce and sprinkle with cinnamon.
