Ingredients

• 150 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 50 grams Sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 120 ml Unsweetened applesauce
• 120 ml Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 medium Apples (peeled, cored, and finely diced)
• 500 ml Vegetable oil
• 50 grams Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

Step 2

In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the applesauce, milk, and vanilla extract to the eggs and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a smooth batter.

Step 4

Gently fold in the finely diced apples into the batter until they are evenly distributed.

Step 5

In a deep-fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F).

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the beignets in batches.

Step 7

Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes, or until they become golden brown and crisp, turning them halfway through for even cooking.

Step 8

Once fried, remove the beignets with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 9

While the beignets are still warm, generously dust them with powdered sugar.

Step 10

Serve your Gluten-Free Beignet Pomme fresh and enjoy their warm apple goodness!
