Air Fryer Cinnamon Churro Bites

 

Churro Bites are a delightful take on a traditional Spanish delicacy! These are quite simple to create, and that's a good thing because they disappear quickly!

A beautiful pastry that gets its exceptional crispiness from an air fryer rather than oil. It's dipped in a rich caramel sauce and coated in a sweet, cinnamon covering.

 

Ingredients

2 sheets Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry

1 cup sugar

3 teaspoons cinnamon

1 cup caramel sauce

 

Directions

Heat the air fryer for 2 minutes at 400°F.

Defrost the puff pastry for a few minutes at room temperature, or until it could be easily unfolded. In a medium mixing dish, mix the cinnamon and sugar whereas the dough is thawing. Cut the pastry into equal-sized squares using a sharp knife.

Arrange the pastry squares in the preheated air fryer basket, making sure they don't contact or overlap. Cooking for 6 minutes at 400°F. Following 3 minutes, take the air fryer basket and gently shake it to assist the pastry brown evenly. Continue for another minute, or until the pastry is golden brown. Place the pastry in the cinnamon sugar right away, gently tossing it until it is fully covered.

 

caramel sauce:

Ingredients

1 cup sugar

6 tablespoons butter, room temperature

½ cup heavy cream, room temperature

 

In the bottom of a sauce pan, spread a uniform layer of sugar. Melt the sugar over medium-high heat, stirring gently until it melts. Just before sugar entirely melts, it will clump together.

Cook the melted sugar until it becomes a rich caramel color. At this stage, slowly whisk in the butter until it is melted.

Take off the heat and gradually whisk in the cream until creamy and totally combined.

Let for 10-15 minutes of cooling before serving.
