APPLE CIDER BEIGNETS WITH BUTTER-BOURBON DIPPING SAUCE



Apple Cider Beignets with Butter-Bourbon Dipping Sauce image

Provided by Anne Thornton, Host of Dessert First

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 stick butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons bourbon
1/4 teaspoon cider vinegar
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons heavy cream
About 8 cups canola oil, for frying, plus 1 tablespoon for the batter
1 large egg
1 cup sparkling apple cider, at room temperature
1 1/4 cup plus 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch ground cinnamon, optional
1 pound Golden Delicious apples (2 or 3), peeled, cored and sliced into 1/4-inch thick rings
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • For the dipping sauce: Because the caramel takes a little while to cook, start by placing the sugar in a large, heavy skillet. Heat the sugar over medium heat, stirring with a fork until it begins to melt. Once it is melted, stop stirring. Cook the sauce, giving the skillet a swirl every now and again, so the sugar melts evenly. Cook until it is dark amber in color, and then remove from the heat. Keep an eye on the sugar because it can go from dark amber to burnt in a blink. Put an oven mitt on the hand you will be using to stir in the ingredients and stand back to avoid splattering.
  • Using a wooden spoon, stir in the butter, 2 tablespoons water, the bourbon, vinegar and salt and cook over low heat, stirring to incorporate all the ingredients and scraping up all the caramel from the bottom of the pan. Add the cream, bring to a boil and allow to cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, and then remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly.
  • For the beignets: Set the oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Heat the oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork, stir in the sparkling cider and 1 tablespoon oil until nice and foamy. Cook's Note: Make sure you use a sparkling cider-it makes the batter lighter and fluffier.
  • In a large, shallow bowl, stir together the 1 1/4 cups flour and cinnamon if using. Make a well in the center of the flour (similar to the way you would if you were making pasta). Pour the cider mixture into the center of the well. Stir in a circular motion, with the fork slowly dragging in and incorporating the flour. Stir until a lumpy batter forms.
  • Put the remaining 1/2 cup flour in a plate or pan. Working in batches of 3, dredge the apple rings in the flour, shaking off the excess, and then dip in the batter to coat, letting the excess drip off. Carefully slip the rings into the hot oil and fry, gently turning over once with a slotted spoon, until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes total per batch.
  • Lay the beignets on a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil. Transfer to a cookie sheet and keep warm in the oven. Return the oil to 375 degrees F between batches.
  • Just before serving, dust the warm beignets with confectioners' sugar. Make sure the butter bourbon dipping sauce is warm, then drizzle over the top and serve more on the side.

Stir in butter, water, rum, vinegar, and a pinch of salt (caramel will harden and steam vigorously) and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until caramel has dissolved. Add cream and bring to a boil, stirring, then remove from heat. Cool to warm.
  • Make beignets:
  • Preheat oven to 250°F with rack in middle. Set a cooling rack in a large shallow baking pan.
  • Heat 2 inches oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat to 375°F.
  • Meanwhile, peel apples and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cut out core with cutter, then pat apple rings dry.
  • Put 1 1/4 cups flour in a large shallow bowl and make a well in center. Beat egg in a small bowl with a fork, then stir in cider and 1 tablespoon oil and pour into well. Stir with fork until a lumpy batter forms.
  • Working in batches of 3 or 4, dredge apple rings in remaining 1/2 cup flour, shaking off excess, then dip in batter to coat, letting excess drip off, and fry, gently turning over once with a slotted spoon, until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes total per batch. Transfer to rack and keep warm in oven. Return oil to 375°F between batches.
  • Just before serving, dust warm beignets with confectioners sugar. Stir sauce, then serve on the side.

Time 3h15m

Yield 36 beignets

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 ½ cups apple cider
1 cup lukewarm water
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 package active dry yeast
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons 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
2 cups apple cider
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup heavy cream
½ stick unsalted butter, cubed
¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Make the beignets: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, bring the apple cider to a boil, then cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and let cool.
  • In a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the water, granulated sugar, and yeast. 3. Let sit for 10 minutes, until foamy.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the reduced apple cider, eggs, salt, 2 teaspoons apple pie spice, the evaporated milk, and melted butter.
  • Add the yeast mixture to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
  • Add half of the flour and stir with a wooden spoon to incorporate. Add the remaining flour and stir until the dough comes together in a ball.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth, about 10 minutes.
  • Grease a clean large bowl with nonstick spray and place the dough in the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for at least 2 hours, until the dough has doubled in size.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and remaining tablespoon of apple pie spice. Set aside.
  • Make the caramel: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, bring the apple cider to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the brown sugar to the reduced cider and continue cooking until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture turns a deep amber color, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the heavy cream and whisk quickly to incorporate. Gradually add the cubed butter and whisk to melt completely. Whisk in the salt, then remove the pot from the heat. Cover with a lid to keep warm until ready to serve.
  • In a large pot, heat the canola oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Place a wire rack over a baking sheet and set nearby.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 12-inch (30 cm) square. Cut the dough into 36 2-inch (5 cm) squares.
  • Working in batches, fry the dough squares in the hot oil until light golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to the wire rack and immediately dust with the apple pie spice sugar.
  • Serve the beignets warm with the cider caramel alongside for dipping.
  • Enjoy!

APPLE CIDER BEIGNETS WITH BUTTER-BOURBON DIPPING SAUCE



Apple Cider Beignets with Butter-Bourbon Dipping Sauce image

Provided by Anne Thornton, Host of Dessert First

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

About 8 cups vegetable oil
3 Golden Delicious apples
1 1/4 cup plus 1/2 cup flour
1 large egg
1 cup sparkling apple cider
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Butter Bourbon Dipping Sauce, recipe follows
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons bourbon
1/4 teaspoon cider vinegar
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Peel and core the apples and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Pat apple rings dry.
  • In a large, shallow bowl, put 1 1/4 cups of flour and make a well in the center. In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork, stir in the cider and 1 tablespoon oil, and pour into the well. Stir in a circular motion with the fork slowly incorporating flour, and stir until a lumpy batter forms.
  • Over medium-high heat, heat 2 inches of oil in a 5 to 6-quart heavy pot to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie plate with paper towels.
  • Working in batches of 3, dredge the apple rings in the remaining 1/2 cup flour, shaking off excess, and then dip in the batter to coat, letting the excess drip off, and fry, gently turning over once with a slotted spoon, until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes total per batch. Lay the beignets on the plate and allow the paper towel to absorb excess oil. Transfer to a cookie sheet and keep warm in the oven. Return the oil to 375 degrees F between batches.
  • Just before serving, dust the warm beignets with confectioners' sugar. Make sure the Butter Bourbon Dipping Sauce is warm, and serve on the side.
  • In a large, heavy skillet, heat the sugar over medium heat, stirring with a fork until it begins to melt. Once it is melting, stop stirring and cook, swirling the skillet occasionally so the sugar melts evenly. Cook until it is dark amber in color, and then remove from the heat. Put an oven mitt on the hand you will be using to stir in the ingredients and stand back to avoid splattering. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the butter, water, bourbon, vinegar, and salt and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until caramel has dissolved. Add the cream and bring to a boil and allow to cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, and then remove from heat. Allow to cool down.;

Tips:

  • Use a digital thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature of 350°F (175°C). This will help prevent the beignets from becoming too greasy or undercooked.
  • Drop the beignet dough into the hot oil carefully to avoid splattering. Use a spoon or tongs to gently lower the dough into the oil.
  • Do not overcrowd the pot when frying the beignets. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the beignets will not cook evenly.
  • Fry the beignets until they are golden brown and puffed up. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Drain the beignets on paper towels to remove any excess oil before serving. This will help keep them crispy.
  • Serve the beignets warm with butter rum caramel sauce and powdered sugar.

Conclusion:

Apple cider beignets are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
