Ingredients
- 6 Churro Bowls using this recipe
Apple Pie Filling: (or use store bought)
- 5 apples large, red or granny smith - your choice, diced into ½-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh squeezed
- 1 ¼ cup water
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch nutmeg
Easy Caramel Sauce: (or use store bought)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup thickened cream or heavy cream
Instructions
- Make Churro Bowls using this recipe.
- While Churros are baking, prepare apple pie filing: combine apples into a medium-sized saucepan with the lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
- Whisk the cornstarch and water together until lump free. Pour the mixture into a medium-sized heavy based saucepan over medium heat. Quickly add in the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, and whisk again to combine. Bring to a boil while whisking continuously, until mixture begins to thicken. Add in the diced apple, give them a quick stir through the mixture; reduce heat down to low and cover pan with a lid. Allow to cook, covered, for about 8-10 minutes, while stirring occasionally, until soft. Apples should be soft but not mushy.
- Take off the heat completely while covered with the lid, and allow to cool down to room temperature.
- Fill each Churro Cup / Bowl with the apple pie filling; top with ice cream (optional), and drizzle with caramel sauce.

Easy Caramel Sauce
- Combine brown sugar and heavy cream into a small-medium sized saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar is just beginning to melt through the cream. Add the butter; allow it to melt completely and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook until the sauce thickens, (about 8 minutes). Remove from heat; allow to cool slightly (t will continue to thicken while cooling down), and drizzle over Apple Pie Churros.
