Powered byPreparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Knead the cinnamon into the butter and rub the mixture all over the apples. In a cake pan, bake the apples 45 minutes and remove. When cool enough to handle, chop enough of them to make 1 cup.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, make the batter. Combine ½ cup water with the milk, butter, syrup and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat until the butter melts. Stir in the corn flour and continue to stir until the dough forms a ball, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Step 3
Remove the dough to a mixing bowl and mix in the eggs, one at a time. Beat until the dough is shiny, about 10 minutes.
- Step 4
Heat the oil in a skillet or fryer to 375 degrees. Drop the beignets in, 1 heaping tablespoon at a time, and fry until golden, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes. Top with maple sugar or drizzle with additional syrup.

This looks wonderful. Do you put the apples in the batter or over the beignets?
blue corn works too
The maple flavor is lovely together with the corn. Made with pink apples and blue corn masa, very colorful!
