Dunk them into a dreamy whipped caramel cream for the ultimate fall dessert experience. Perfect for cozy nights, fall fairs at home, or impressing guests with something both nostalgic and elevated.
For the churros:
1 cup apple cider
½ cup unsalted butter
2 tbsp sugar
¼ tsp salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
Oil, for frying
For the coating:
½ cup sugar
2 tsp apple pie spice
For the caramel cream:
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup caramel sauce
Pinch of salt
In a saucepan, bring apple cider, butter, sugar, and salt to a boil. Stir in flour; cook until dough pulls from sides.
Remove from heat; beat in eggs one at a time until smooth.
Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Pipe dough into hot oil; fry until golden, turning as needed. Drain on paper towels.
Mix sugar and apple pie spice; roll warm churros in mixture.
For the dip, whip cream to soft peaks; fold in caramel sauce and salt.
Serve churros warm with caramel cream.
