Apple and cinnamon choux fritters are a delightful blend of crispy choux pastry with the sweet and spicy flavor of apples and cinnamon. This recipe combines the richness of buttery choux dough with the comforting taste of cinnamon-spiced apples, making it a perfect treat for any occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel, core, and finely dice the apple into small pieces.
- Toss the apple pieces with the cinnamon to coat them evenly. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and 1/2 cup of water over medium heat. Bring it to a boil.
- Remove the pan from the heat and immediately add the flour, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Return the pan to the heat and cook the dough for about 1-2 minutes to dry it out, stirring constantly.
- Remove from the heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- Beat the eggs in a small bowl.
- Add the eggs to the dough, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough should be smooth and glossy, holding its shape but still pipeable.
- Gently fold the cinnamon-coated apple pieces into the choux pastry until evenly distributed.
- In a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Using two spoons or a small cookie scoop, drop small portions of the dough into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry the fritters for about 4-5 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and puffed.
- Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- While the fritters are still warm, roll them in the sugar to coat them evenly. Alternatively, you can dust them with powdered sugar if preferred.
- Serve the apple and cinnamon choux fritters warm.
Tips:
- Make sure to finely chop the apple to ensure it cooks evenly and integrates well into the dough.
- Use a piping bag to form uniform fritters for even frying.
- Ensure the oil is at the right temperature (around 350°F or 175°C) to prevent the fritters from absorbing too much oil or burning.
- Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fritters.
- Drain the fritters on paper towels to remove excess oil before coating them in sugar.
