Beignets aux Pommes, Sauce Abricot

Since the Middle Ages, cooks have been coating both sweet and savory ingredients in batter and cooking them in hot oil. Beignets, also known as fritters in English, have evolved from region to region with some recipes calling for a choux paste and others, such as beignets de pommes, calling for beer-based dough. In terms of sweet fillings, apples are one of the oldest and best-loved filling ingredients for beignets.
