Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 120 milliliters Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg
- 180 milliliters Skim milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 medium Apple, peeled and diced
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil for frying
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar substitute (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a thick batter forms.
Fold in the diced apple chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). Test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Make sure to not overcrowd the skillet; fry in batches if necessary.
Fry each beignet for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a consistent temperature.
Remove the beignets from the skillet using a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
If desired, dust the warm beignets with granulated sugar substitute before serving.
