The cronut is a pastry that combines elements of croissants and donuts, popularized by Dominique Ansel in New York City. The apple cronut variation adds a seasonal twist with apple filling.
Ingredients
- ●2 cups all-purpose flour
- ●1/4 cup granulated sugar
- ●1 tsp salt
- ●1 tsp instant yeast
- ●1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
- ●1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- ●1 large egg
- ●1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- ●1/2 cup apple filling (store-bought or homemade)
- ●1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- ●1-2 tbsp milk (for glaze)
- ●Oil for frying
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
- 2In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- 3Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- 4Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- 5Once risen, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
- 6Spread the apple filling evenly over the dough, then fold the dough into thirds like a letter.
- 7Roll out the folded dough again into a rectangle and fold it into thirds again. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 8Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- 9Roll out the dough again to about 1 inch thick and cut out cronut shapes using a donut cutter or two round cutters.
- 10Fry the cronuts in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 11In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with milk to create a glaze. Dip the tops of the cronuts in the glaze and let set before serving.
