Ingredients
To make these delicious churros, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 3 large eggs
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1/2 cup sugar (for coating)
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Maple Cream Cheese Sauce Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in flour and pumpkin pie spice, mixing until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).
- Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
- Pipe 4-6 inch strips directly into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove churros from oil and drain on paper towels. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, then roll the churros in it while they’re still warm.
For the Maple Cream Cheese Sauce
- In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add maple syrup and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- If the sauce is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
