Instructions
1
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, stir in the flour and cinnamon with a wooden spoon, keeping it on the heat. Keep stirring until the dough pulls away from the sides and looks smooth.

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. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is glossy and smooth. Fold in the apples and set the dough aside.

Step 3
For the caramel sauce, mix together the Sugar In The Raw, a quarter cup of Stevia In The Raw, and water in a small pan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Turn up the heat and let the syrup cook until it turns a deep amber color, swirling the pan gently so it doesn’t burn.

Step 4
Take the pan off the heat and carefully stir in a third of a cup of cider. If the caramel looks too thin, pop it back on the heat and simmer until it thickens to a syrupy consistency. Stir in vanilla and half a teaspoon of salt, then set the sauce aside.

Step 5
Heat oil in a large heavy pot or deep skillet to about 365°F. Drop spoonfuls of the dough into the hot oil, cooking them in batches of eight or so until they’re golden all over. Use a slotted spoon to remove the beignets and let them drain on paper towels.

Step 6
Once all the beignets are fried, drizzle them with the caramel sauce and finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving. Enjoy!
