Ingredients
- 2 cups (480ml) apple cider
- 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) baking soda
- 1/2 cup (100g) organic brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon (1 ml) salt
- 3 tablespoons (33g) vegan butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (150g) vegan yogurt
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (200g) organic granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour for dusting
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (66g) vegan butter, melted
Instructions
- Pour the apple cider into a small saucepan and heat on high until it boils. Reduce to a gentle simmer for 15 minutes, allowing it to decrease in volume by half. Transfer to a heat-safe container and let it cool down.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend the dry components: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, organic brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
- Incorporate the cooled, reduced apple cider, melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, and vegan yogurt into the dry mixture.
- Stir until the mixture is uniform. The resulting dough will be thick and sticky. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to eight hours.
- When ready to cook, sprinkle approximately 1/8 cup (15g) of flour on your work area. Turn out the dough, which should be firmer but still sticky.
- Utilize a dough scraper or a large knife to manage the dough. Divide it into two portions and shape each into a thick rectangle, roughly 1 inch thick. Cut horizontally to create a long strip, then slice into 1 to 2 inch cubes. Adjust size if needed. Keep extra flour handy for dusting the surface or the dough scraper.
- Place 10 to 20 pieces in the air fryer, depending on its capacity. Cook at 400°F (212°C) for 7 minutes until they turn golden brown. Optionally, use spray oil on the basket and pieces. Repeat until all are cooked. You should get around 70 pieces, but adjust as desired.
- Meanwhile, melt the vegan butter and prepare a cinnamon sugar mixture in a wide bowl.
- Once cooked, coat the pieces in the melted vegan butter, let excess drip off, and then roll them in the cinnamon sugar. Repeat until all are coated.
- After coating, they are ready to be savored!
Notes
- Make sure the vegan butter is completely melted before adding it to the dough for a silky texture.
- Refrigerating the dough for at least an hour helps blend the flavors for a more delicious outcome.
- Adjust the size of the dough pieces as necessary to fit your air fryer’s capacity for uniform cooking.
