How to Make It
1. Step
Peel the apples and soak them in a medium bowl filled with lemon water to keep then from browning. Using a cheese grater, grate the apples.
2. Step
In another medium bowl, combine the grated apples and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Stir to coat well and set aside.
3. Step
Make the churro dough: In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, salt, and water. Bring to a boil.
4. Step
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the flour. Using a wooden spoon, stir until the dough comes together to form a ball, about 1 minute.
5. Step
Remove the pot from the heat and let cool for about 5 minutes to prevent accidentally cooking the eggs.
6. Step
Add the eggs, 1 at a time, being sure to fully incorporate each egg before adding the next. Set the dough aside.
7. Step
Spread a kitchen towel over a medium bowl. Transfer the grated apple to the towel and squeeze to remove moisture.
8. Step
Add the grated apple to the churro dough. Mix well with wooden spoon and transfer to a piping bag with a large star tip or large round tip.
9. Step
Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches 350˚F (180˚C).
10. Step
Pipe the dough into the hot oil, using scissors to cut into bite-size pieces as you squeeze. Work in batches, if necessary, so as not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the churros until golden brown and fully cooked, 2-3 minutes.
11. Step
Transfer the hot churros to a medium bowl filled with cinnamon sugar and toss to coat.
