01
Step 1
Start by heating the milk, half a cup of cider, butter, a tablespoon of Stevia In The Raw, and half a teaspoon of salt in a medium saucepan until it just comes to a boil. Right away, add the flour and cinnamon, then stir vigorously with a wooden spoon over the heat until the mixture forms a smooth dough that pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Step 2
Transfer the dough to a bowl or your stand mixer and let it cool for about 10 minutes, giving it a stir now and then. Once it’s cooled, beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each one is fully mixed in before adding the next. The dough should end up smooth and shiny. Fold in the cinnamon-spiced apples and set the dough aside.

Step 3
Next, make the caramel sauce. In a small saucepan, combine Sugar In The Raw®, a quarter cup of Stevia In The Raw, and a quarter cup of water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Turn the heat up to high and let it cook until it turns a deep amber color, swirling the pan gently so it doesn’t burn. Take it off the heat and carefully stir in a third of a cup of cider until the caramel smooths out. If it’s too thin, pop it back on low heat to thicken. Finally, stir in the vanilla and half a teaspoon of salt. Set the caramel aside.

Step 4
Heat oil in a large, heavy pot or deep skillet to around 365°F. Drop spoonfuls of the dough into the hot oil in batches—about eight at a time—and fry them until they’re golden brown all over. Use a slotted spoon to remove the beignets and drain them on paper towels. Repeat until all the dough is cooked.

Step 5
When you’re ready to serve, drizzle the warm beignets with the caramel sauce and sprinkle a little cinnamon on top. Enjoy!
